it will be a huge drag on the american economy + the government sector with its billions if not trillions in unfunded pension liabilities
Capitalism won't be destroyed, the middle class will. Only somebody working for an employer that confiscates taxes ahead of time can be taxed. Small business people can wriggle out of taxation Corporations receive more from the public sector than they pay out in some cases.
What do you mean coming, its already here. Three Kentucky counties â Owsley, McCreary and Wolfe â are the only places that rely on government programs such as Social Security, food stamps and Medicaid for more than half of income. The results of the 2012 presidential elections by county, per AP: Owsley: Mitt Romney 83%; Barack Obama 17.9% McCreary: Mitt Romney 80.0%; Barack Obama 18.7% Wolfe: Mitt Romney 60.3%; Barack Obama 38.1% http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/12/three-counties-in-kentucky-151076.html
Mixing in social security, which is people receiving their own money back that was confiscated from them by the gov't, with medicaid and food stamps, and calling them all "public assistance" is as perverted as the kind of sex that you san francisco deviants engage in, Mikey.
For the last 100 years, it has been the goal of the "Progressive Left" to make the majority of the populace dependent upon the Federal Government. With 50% of the vote already, they will eventually be able to enslave ALL of us... and be like every other oppressive, State-Centric government throughout history. Is that OK with you? To become enslaved? For your children and grandchildren to be enslaved.... with no hope of freedom and no hope of achieving "the American dream"... just so your lazy ass can receive a government check "for free"? If so, SHAME ON YOU!
So did these people pay in more than everyone else in the country for them to receive such large amounts in return (percentage wise), you do understand percentages don't you Con? And what is 'deviant' sex, you seem to know a lot more about this than people from SF it seems.
