Americans are more Reliant than ever on Governmental Aid
An aging population and economic distress raise dependence on federal and state support.
Voters in American counties with a large percentage of older Americans receiving aid turn to Republicans to turn off the flow of costly aid to retired loafers.
Retired Clay County voter Fred Herbert, tells the Wall Street Journal, "I'm not going to vote for any candidate unless I can be certain he'll give me both a punch in the face, and also a kick in my pants. I'm a welfare loser, a beneficiary of subsidized property taxes under the Save Out Homes welfare assistance program and I'm also a big Medicare-taker. Somehow I have to be stopped. That's why I'm a member of Tea Party Seniors with Guns. We're holding Maneuvers against Medicare this weekend."
"I'm just grateful that Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal is sharing my disgraceful story."
