I read somewhere that HALF of Americans work for the medical industry in some way. HALF OF US. That's half of us that would lose everything if they let the idea that the medical model might be harming us more than helping us.

As for government, same problem. Government (taxpayers) pays a lot of us in some way. I pay as much in taxes as I receive in social security. And all those years that I and my employers had to pay in! It's a wash!

I ask if they think things would be worse than they are now, now that big powerful governments and rulers are in every country of the world. It doesn't change any minds, but it clarifies for me.

Sixty percent of people in Ireland receive one or more welfare payment and that's not to mention the huge subsidies paid to farmers. The government has bough everyone...with their own money.

I did not know that about Ireland and welfare.

I searched for "what percent of Americans receive some sort of support from the US government." I got a range of obfuscating figures.

If I just use the SNAP percent and the "transfer" percent, we are at 65% here in the US.

We are trapped. Like slaves. And think it's in our best interest to keep it up. Like good slaves.

We need a reset!:)
