109,631,000 Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally funded "means-tested programs" — also known as welfare — as of the fourth quarter of 2012.The Census Bureau has not yet reported how many were on welfare in 2013 or the first two quarters of 2014.But the 109,631,000 living in households taking federal welfare benefits as of the end of 2012, according to the Census Bureau, equaled 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time.LINK 4951

Great link @Drekonix It's amazing how some people believe one or two individuals somehow represent a whole group of people who may happen to share the same religion, socioeconomic status, race, etc.I'm willing to bet the growing wage gap between top earners and lower level earners has far more to do with this than abuse and fraud. 4951

@HotterThanYou: Totally agreed about income inequality. I'm astounded that more people are not outraged by the drain on society that is corporate welfare. There are at least a dozen different examples of abuse I could point to.

No wonder everyone working is so exhausted. That's a heavy load of dead weight to carry. 4951
