Although no one can be sure, a reasonable estimate would be that over seventy million Americans derive their sustenance from salaries and wages directly paid by government, or as dependents of someone paid by government. In addition, millions more receive government monies as welfare checks and transfer payments for which they provide no services.
In the 1998 Congressional elections, only forty-two million Americans voted. This was far less than the number of people who benefited from government checks.
