Intel Corp (INTC)

[mas]

believe he was referring to 100 million Americans who are living off the rest of us

That many ? With official unemployment only about 7% ? I must admit I have zero tolerance for those who choose welfare as a lifestyle choice but any civilized country needs a welfare system to help productive people in between jobs and obviously governments should always make work pay more than welfare with an appropriate tax system. A welfare system is also something that can only be changed at election time so one has very little control over it otherwise and is not worth stewing over in between. If it makes Tim feel any better about the situation perhaps he should consider these people as current or future subsidized buyers of INTC and/or APPL products !
