According to the U.S. Debt Clock as of now,
each citizen of the USA now owes: $48,222
toward the debt.
But we know most American citizens are NOT taxpayers (some are too young, others retired, others too poor) so
each TAXPAYER now owes: $133,916.
We also learn from that site that 14.2% of all employed people work for the government, not adding any VALUE to the economy.
And more than them, 23,977,360 (17.1%) are unemployed!
So, they would pay tax if they could, but are prevented by the Obama economy.
Soon after Obama took office a move to quit paying your mortgage was started.
Today the average days past due in making your last mortgage payment is 635!
Seems the Left’s idea caught on.
Now the occupy movement is trying to add not paying your college tuition to the non-payment pile.
Last I checked it was slow (like with the mortgages) getting off the ground.
Only about 140,000 students are signing the pledge to never pay back their tuition loans.
The Cloward/Piven plan is to collapse the USA by putting pressure on all its structures, be they welfare, banking or any of the rest.
Obama is destroying America as fast as he can.
These young people are 100% correct.

If you removed all public employees, there would be no functional national economy.
Maybe all public employees should stop showing up at work for a couple of weeks to demonstrate the truth of this to those who don’t believe it. The only problem with such a demonstration is that by the end of the two weeks total chaos would have set in.
The The Cloward/Piven plan is one of those mirror-image projections of a strategy that’s actually being applied by the other side. Does the term “starve the beast” sound familiar?
The burgeoning debt is at least partially a result of that strategy being put into practice. Quite simply, the plan is to kill off undesirable social programs by ceasing to pay for them. You accomplish that simply by not collecting sufficient taxes to pay the bills. Continue for 35 years, and You Are Here.
That was a powerful ad against our Egoist in Chief, and extremely hard to counter with an appropriate argument. Well done, Tennessee; hopefully, our advertising people will be able to deliver a series of these effective, hard hitting, grass roots advertisements to effectively neutralize the mind numbing Socialist pablum that will be churned out ad-nauseum by the whores of Madison Avenue, with the hundreds of millions of dollars the Obama masters are willing to invest in the continuing infestation to maintain this ligature around the neck of capitalism.
So young to have been so brainwashed . . .

Well, admitting it IS half the battle Greg, congratulations on your epiphany!!
