That's the bigger issue to me. As WN pointed out, demographics have shifted. I appreciate his respectful and intellectually curious demeanor, but, as he did, I also respectfully disagree with him. Terms like "the 47%" are politically devisive and cutesy, but in reality, America is losing it's "pull yourself up by the bootstrap" mentality. Looking back, the same things were probably said in the 70's and we recovered well. However, our country is still plagued by the cancerous legislation that was passed in those times. The workers of our nation are overburdened. The only question is: when is critical mass? It's happening in other countries right now, but we seem very content walking down the road that they laid.
