[The Urban Sombrero]

We have here in this land the following. Equality of opportunity (except in cases where affirmative action has skewed vocational success and the access to free education). One can therefore, achieve his slice albeit perhaps a thin one, of the American dream through work. Or, they can go the route which sidesteps personal responsibility and claim foul by virtue of race or whatever. Your fraction must be the work product of new math I guess. Because this is the actual equation according to Forbes; "Thus, perhaps 52 percent of U.S. households—more than half—now receive benefits from the government, thanks to President Obama. And Mr. Entitlement is just getting started. If Obamacare is not repealed millions more will join the swelling rolls of those dependent on government handouts."

In other words, more takers than providers.

If 52% is accurate, it would be correct to say "a slight majority of American households." It would be self-serving, sensationalistic, and inaccurate to say, "most." But, "more takers than providers" is a problem, no doubt. However, it is not so simple a problem as "too sorry to work." American jobs booked it to Mexico and China and India and Thailand, leaving behind a wasteland of subsistence living jobs. When maximizing profits becomes the Mammon Ethic that is the be all end all of the corporate elite, and the world leaders who get in bed with them, a shrinking middle class happens, a "selling guns to where business interest runs" happens. Yes, "too sorry to work" is an issue, but, geez, open your eyes, man.
