It got outsourced to China.

He's not talking about Vets, retirees, etc, but freeloaders, parasites, and those who just do not want to go to work for a living.
I personally know a person who got fired from his job, got 99 weeks of Obama unemployment benefits...

RealSpokes information is based on a "study" that cites the number of welfare recipients rather than the percentage. These studies are frequently cited on so-called "black supremacy" websites to distort reality. The reality is that whites are the majority of people, so to get an accurate reflection of reality we mustnt use the number but the percentage. The percentage of blacks as well as democrats who are on welfare is significantly higher than the amount of republicans on welfare.
This is actually common knowledge - how disappointing that it has to be explained to internet-partisans.
RealSpoke has posted 3 other gross inaccuracies in this thread, lets see if you can find them.

Is he actually suggesting children should be allowed to starve if they have no food? If there is a famine in Africa we all say how terrible it is and try to help.

It is a fact that 47% of people in the US pay no income tax and I am sure a majority of them think Obama will keep it that way.

47% of people don't pay income taxes because they A) Are military members who don't make enough to support themselves (another topic!) B) Senior Citizens who live off of Social Security THAT THEY PAID INTO C) People who take advantage of things like Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, etc... ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE SUPPORTED BY BOTH PARTIES!
So you are going to tell me that disabled vets who live off disability are moochers who should not be taken care of or even a consideration of Romney? The man is a fraud and I cannot wait to cast my vote for Obama. I am not a low life mooch either ... I've worked for 18 of my 34 years on this planet, served in the military and I VOTED for Both Bushes .... (Hindsight is 20/20 I guess)

Yes, you and the 47% will be Obama's support. Romney has 53%. You lose! American Wins!

This doesn't surprises me one bit, it's easy to see that Romney is a phoney. He tries to say how he relates to the middle and poor class and how he'll help them, NEVER trust a banker, it's obvious he only cares about their vote, and after that he won't care one bit about them. Romney will be more interested in declaring war against Iran.

Whoop there it is!
P.E.R.C.E.N.T.A.G.E.
Sixteen percentage of the population collecting 37% of welfare benefits is indeed staggering.
Proving once and for all that Romney is correct with his "secret" statement.
But the again this is a non story.
