Buried deep on the website
of the U.S. Census Bureau is a number every American citizen, and especially
those entrusted with public office, should know. It is 86,429,000. That is the number of Americans who in 2012
got up every morning and went to work — in the private sector — and did it week
after week after week. These are the
people who built America, and these are the people who can sustain it as a free
country. The liberal media have not made them famous like the polar bear, but
they are truly a threatened species. It
is not a rancher with a few hundred head of cattle that is attacking their
habitat, nor an energy company developing a fossil fuel. It is big government
and its primary weapon — an ever-expanding welfare state........The 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers
outnumbered the 86,429,000 full-time private sector workers 1.7 to 1. How much more can the 86,429,000 endure? As more baby boomers retire, and as Obamacare
comes fully online — with its expanded Medicaid rolls and federally subsidized
health insurance for anyone earning less than 400 percent of the poverty level
— the number of takers will inevitably expand. And the number of full-time
private-sector workers might also contract.
