Every US Worker Supports One Other Person With official U-6 unemployment at 17%, a work force of 154.1 million there are roughly 26,197,000 people officially out of work. Since the average US household consists of 2.6 persons and if 33% of the unemployed are sole wage earners then there are roughly 40 million US citizens with no financial means of support, or 13% of the US population. If 53 million beneficiaries of Social Security are considered, the number rises to 93 million, or roughly 30.3% of the US population. If state, local and federal government employees are considered the number rises to 112.5 million, or roughly 36.6% of the US population. If active military personnel are included the number rises to 113.9 million, or roughly 37% of the US population. The ratio of persons working to persons dependent on the government for income is roughly 1:1. In effect, for every working person in the US, one other person, either a non-working person or a government or military employee, must be supported. |

That would be damn near everyone.. So we are all basically socialists? I've made some people here, a few who in particular are the most dependent on the government for their income yet complain the most about socialism, rather agitated by pointing that out over the years.
As for myself, I'm not quite sure how to vote. The BNSF is paid money by various state and federal entities to accomodate and in some instances operate commuter and passenger rail operations, but my job is not dependent on those operations. And the wife works for Boeing's commercial division and is thus not dependent on the income received from government spending for military contracts. |

Quoted: Ain't nothin' wrong with working for/with the .gov. If you think otherwise, feel free to leave the US and start your own country....oh wait, that would involve making a government as well....and then you'd have to mark "yes" on the poll. Nevermind.  http://cohort11.americanobserver.net/latoyaegwuekwe/multimediafinal.html |

At the present time I'm suckling from the government sugar tit. I want to change my reply. I am collecting SS that I have previously gave to them. Its my money. Your money was given away to others before they even got it, and now you are riding on SS money not yet collected. |

| ummm, yeah. The post office is a very strange quasi-governmental organization now. Pre '72 when it was the United States Post Office––total government. Then it became United States Postal Service––-less government influence. After 1984, we haven't received any tax dollars. The only thing that actually keeps us "government" affiliated is that congress has to approved any first class postage price increases. So we are damn near a corporation, but with a government tie in. We get all the holidays off, but no tax dollars. |
