I wish I could agree with you , John, but I believe the “47%” is really more like 55%. When a man running for office pledges to "redistribute the wealth," he will surely be elected by that entitlement-minded electorate that doesn't know that taking something from one person and giving it to another person is immoral. Unfortunately, that is now the dominant demographic that the Republicans will soon be catering to – as if they haven’t been already – and we will inevitably slide into Greece.
