Interesting Statistics
 
In the United States, 47% of the voting public receive tax dollars rather than pay them. Considering that, here are some other interesting stats:
  • More than 90% of households have a microwave oven
  • 88% have a television set with 68% having more than one set
  • 87% subscribe to cable or satellite TV
  • 77% own a personal computer
  • 72% have a flat-screen TV
  • 68% have broadband internet service
If you have a basic mathematical education, you can readily see that at least some of the people who claim they can't survive without government handouts somehow manage to afford microwaves, high-tech TV's, computers, cable, and internet service.
 
Kind of makes me nauseated.
