That's the first time in the history of our country that has happened. Over 50% of the people now get something from the govt.

And when you are getting something from the govt., well...you tend to want MORE. So you vote accordingly.
Back in the old days it used to be called "Buying Votes".

And if you noticed the election results... the areas where people get "free" stuff from the govt. voted overwhelmingly Democrat (the NorthEast big cities).
The areas of the country where people do not...voted Republican.

If you look at the election map and just went with what the map of the U.S. looks like and have it painted Red and Blue...it would appear that Romney won big time.

But the tiny blue areas are places like New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Chicago...giant cities full of people on govt. assistance.

Just an observation.
I'd guess its closer to 100% of the people get something from the government. Ever drive on a road?
