1 in 2 Americans receives income from government programs

Wow, shocking, isn’t it? It seems that if you’re not getting help from the government, then you’re probably paying for someone who is. I don’t begrudge anyone that needs a helping hand, but how many people out there could do something productive instead of leaning on the government for support?

It used to be that getting any sort of charity was shameful because you looked like you were lazy and shiftless. Too bad that ethic isn’t prevalent today. I just wonder what it’s going to be like in twenty years. How many more people will be on the public dole?
