Majority of Americans Under 18 Live in Welfare Households
Barack Obama’s legacy is secure. Welfare has reached the tipping point:
In 2016, according to the most recent data from the Census Bureau, there were approximately 73,586,000 people under 18 in the United States, and 38,365,000 of them — or 52.1 percent — resided in households in which one or more persons received benefits from a means-tested government program.
If we continue on our current path, despite the present health of the economy, in the future the majority of Americans will be paid to be poor.
What the government subsidizes, we get more of. This applies to poverty, because the more people grow up relying on and feeling entitled to other people’s money, the more of them will vote for leftists. This could easily produce an irreversible Democrat Death Spiral, where handouts –> higher taxes –> economic stagnation –> poverty –> demands for more handouts.
Here’s how quickly the situation is getting out of hand:
Twenty years ago, in 1998, according to Census Bureau data, only 36.9 percent of Americans under 18 lived in a household receiving means-tested government assistance. In 2008, the percentage broke 40 percent for the first time. In 2013, it broke 50 percent for the first time.
Before long, every election will be won by whoever promises the largest increase in welfare benefits. Those who produce wealth will become a minority group literally enslaved by taxation to those who do not.
