(CNSNews.com) – Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. They also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.
There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.
The next sentence is shocking but, in my opinion, not unexpected or unforeseen:
That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.
I have written, for some time, of the tipping point where the Parasites outnumber the Hosts.
Statistically, it appears, we are there.

Not doubting or disagreeing with what you are saying but wonder if Social Security recipients are included in these figures?
Time to change our laws.
If not, the coming depression and government failure to do anything,, will cause rioting and looting of anyone who has something.
Lock and load and be mentally prepared to shoot looters.
