RUSH: That last segment I must have lost track of the clock \u2019cause it went longer than I intended it; so this one is not gonna be very long.<\/p>\n

Just long enough to give you a heads up of what\u2019s coming. “Over Half of America Gets More in Welfare than it Pays in Taxes<\/a>.” Stop and think of that determining where we are and where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Over Half of America Gets More in Welfare than it Pays in Taxes.” I should save this for next week. Do you realize…? This is Congressional Budget Office numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“More than half of Americans receive more money in various types of government transfer payments (Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Social Security) than they pay in federal taxes.” More than half! One thing that this explains is why so many people don\u2019t think tax cuts are a big deal. If your life is dependent on all kinds of government transfer payments — welfare, whatever you want to call it — and tax cuts, you think, are going to lead to the government having less money, then you\u2019re not gonna be in favor of tax cuts.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got “Over Half of America Gets More in Welfare than it Pays in Taxes”? They\u2019re gonna understand here that tax cuts are not… Remember all the news stories about how the Republican tax cut bill didn\u2019t end up being that big a boon for the Republicans in polling? That\u2019s a major shift just since the 1980s. It was a huge win-win for Republicans back in the eighties, and I think it still is to a certain extent. But not as big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
