THE OVERCLASS

 7 out of 10 people are on the government dole if we define the dole as anybody receiving more in benefits than they pay in taxes. We are all aware of the abuse of welfare and EBT cards. Who has not had the misfortune of being behind a person using an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card in order to buy steaks and other foods in bulk that even middle-class people have trouble affording. In some cases, it has been reported that recipients fill up two whole shopping carts. The days of welfare recipients going to the post office to pick up their welfare checks are over. Now the government just loads their EBT cards (which look identical to credit cards) with funds.

But what many White middle and working class people do not realize is the overclass is just as guilty of welfare fraud as the underclass. Giant corporations, and in most cases that means multinational corporations, get 100 million in direct payments and subsidies from the government in the form of energy subsidies, green initiatives, and agricultural subsidies. The agricultural budget is the most misleading of all because the majority of the agricultural budget does not go to farmers. Most people don't realize that for some inexplicable reason the food stamp program comes out of the Department of Agriculture instead of the Department of Health and Human Services. When you factor in the military budget with its billions given for new weapons systems and constant no win wars you can see the United States is terminal. It has journeyed past the economic point of no return! The White middle and working class should not be expected to carry the whole load for both the underclass and the overclass!
