The latest statistics show that between 43% and 49% of the U.S. population are dependent on the government for their livelihood. They pay no taxes and are paid in some states as much as $40.00 an hour in assistance.
"As of June 2013, 49% of Americans received some sort of financial support from the government, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So that figure has some basis in fact.
-- But the number includes more than just people receiving anti-poverty assistance. It also includes Social Security and Medicare, the federal pension and health care programs for seniors -- programs that are funded by workers' payroll taxes and aren't typically associated with concerns about dependency. It also includes other benefits, such as worker's compensation or educational assistance for veterans."
