"In America, 7 out of 10 people receive more in government benefits than
they pay in taxes. Some of these beneficiaries are the poor collecting
various welfare benefits including food stamps, cash assistance and
Medicaid. But it's not just the poor who feed at the trough of our vast
welfare state. Most seniors get far more from Social Security and
Medicare than they contribute and payroll taxes. Giant corporations get
$100 billion in direct payments and subsidies from the government. The
military squanders billions on weapons systems it does not need in order
to fund jobs in key lawmakers districts.
Conclusion: Welfare is welfare."
