While I think the number pulling the wagon is smaller than the number riding in the wagon I question some of the numbers. Is the number of workers based on who is paying taxes vs those that are not? If so what happens to the number when you back out teens working part time paying no taxes while being claimed by their parents? If the number includes people taking subsidies that would include a ton of wealthy farmers, ranchers etc taking subsidies. Ie my wife's uncle who is worth close to 30 million living on a 4000 acre ranch in OK almost funded 100% by subsidies and tax breaks. He calls himself a conservative , I hate the prick.
