  Those getting "Subsidies" consist largely of Social Security recipients, and the working poor.

  "The Dept. of Health data suggests 1.7% of the total population that derive over 50% of their income from Welfare supports.

  The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 8% of the total population in the United States. "

  The problem is that the top 1/10th of 1% make as much as the entire bottom 50%, according to IRS statistics. This is a drastic change from as recently as 1980, when the entire top 1% made less than 1/2 what the bottom 50% made.

  It's not the poor that are picking your pocket, it's the rich, who even after the current tax increase are still paying less than they've paid in 80 years.

  "Cooper said these figures as indicators for change. The messages aren’t getting through to all populations."

  It's the Republicans who aren't getting the message.

  So how did that 2012 election work out for ya?
