    AK likes to use percents instead of numbers.

    It's his only way to make his points look true.

    Exactly, it is the democrat 'snake in the grass' way. Even the NY Times says the moochers are dominantly democrats.

    Democrat dishonest trick: take red state- blue state numbers, pretend that states vote as a voting block, and never use weighted population averages when comparing states.

    This is a much more honest viewpoint:

    BTW RCG, how about another inconvenient fact, How about we plot the percent moochers by state versus percent black population?

    I dare you

  7. You conservatives use them every time you try to make a welfare or crime rate case, so why not use them now?

    It is like this RCG, it takes a certain amount of intelligent discretion to know when percentages are appropriate or not. If I ask what is the rate, then usually it is a percentage. If I ask where do they live then I count them up and see where they live.

    The fact that this is lost on you is not surprising since you are on the left.

  9. You have to add government workers, union workers, government contractors working as employees to get the real picture.

    For instance check out DC. Obama got 97% of the vote but only 23% are on government assistance.

    Does anyone think that only 23% of DC depends on the government for their livelihood?
