Buried deep on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau is a number every American citizen, and especially those entrusted with public office, should know. It is 86,429,000.

That is the number of Americans who in 2012 got up every morning and went to work — in the private sector — and did it week after week after week.

These are the people who built America, and these are the people who can sustain it as a free country. The liberal media has not made them famous like the polar bear, but they are truly a threatened species.

It is not a rancher with a few hundred head of cattle that is attacking their habitat, nor an energy company developing a fossil fuel. It is big government and its primary weapon — an ever-expanding welfare state.

First, let's look at the basic taxonomy of the full-time, year-round American worker.

In 2012, according to the Census Bureau, approximately 103,087,000 people worked full-time, year-round in the United States. "A full-time, year-round worker is a person who worked 35 or more hours per week (full time) and 50 or more weeks during the previous calendar year (year round)," said the Census Bureau. "For school personnel, summer vacation is counted as weeks worked if they are scheduled to return to their job in the fall."

Of the 103,087,000 full-time, year-round workers, 16,606,000 worked for the government. That included 12,597,000 who worked for state and local government and 4,009,000 who worked for the federal government.

The 86,429,000 Americans who worked full-time, year-round in the private sector, included 77,392,000 employed as wage and salary workers for private-sector enterprises and 9,037,000 who worked for themselves. (There were also approximately 52,000 who worked full-time, year-round without pay in a family enterprise.)

At first glance, 86,429,000 might seem like a healthy population of full-time private-sector workers. But then you need to look at what they are up against.

The Census Bureau also estimates the size of the benefit-receiving population.

This population, too, falls into two broad categories. The first includes those who receive benefits for public services they performed or in exchange for payroll taxes they dutifully paid their entire working lives. Among these, for example, are those receiving veteran's benefits, those on unemployment and those getting Medicare and Social Security.

The second category includes those who get "means-tested" government benefits — or welfare. These include, for example, those who get Medicaid, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income, public housing, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Women, Infants Children.

Let's examine this second category first, which the Census Bureau reports as "anyone residing in a household in which one or more people received benefits from the program."

In the last quarter of 2011, according to the Census Bureau, approximately 82,457,000 people lived in households where one or more people were on Medicaid. 49,073,000 lived in households were someone got food stamps. 23,228,000 lived in households where one or more got WIC. 20,223,000 people lived in households where one or more got SSI. 13,433,000 lived in public or government-subsidized housing.

Of course, it stands to reason that some people lived in households that received more than one welfare benefit at a time. To account for this, the Census Bureau published a neat composite statistic: There were 108,592,000 million people in the fourth quarter of 2011 who lived in a household that included people on "one or more means-tested program."

Those 108,592,000 outnumbered the 86,429,000 full-time private-sector workers who inhabited the United States in 2012 by almost 1.3 to 1.

This brings us to the first category of benefit receivers. There were 49,901,000 people receiving Social Security in the fourth quarter of 2011, and 46,440,000 receiving Medicare. There were also 5,098,000 getting unemployment compensation.

And there were also, 3,178,000 veterans receiving benefits and 34,000 veterans getting educational assistance.

All told, including both the welfare recipients and the non-welfare beneficiaries, there were 151,014,000 who "received benefits from one or more programs" in the fourth quarter of 2011. Subtract the 3,212,000 veterans, who served their country in the most profound way possible, and that leaves 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers.

The 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers outnumbered the 86,429,000 full-time private sector workers 1.7 to 1.

How much more can the 86,429,000 endure?

As more baby boomers retire, and as Obamacare comes fully online — with its expanded Medicaid rolls and federally subsidized health insurance for anyone earning less than 400 percent of the poverty level — the number of takers will inevitably expand. And the number of full-time private-sector workers might also contract.

Eventually, there will be too few carrying too many, and America will break.

Parasites. Do you have any sympathy for the working people?

These people tend to get angry when their entitlement to free resources is removed.......right?

The solution is quite simple. More good-paying middle-class jobs.

The tax code must be changed to encourage business owners (stockholders) to create and retain jobs here in the USA, AND severely penalize business owners who do not.

Additionally, Tariffs must be placed on all imported goods that compete with American made goods - and severe tax penalties must be levied on those who hide their wealth off-shore to evade taxes.

The creation of 25 million new JOBS (my figure) over the next 4 years will solve just about all the economic problems we face.

I personally, am pleased that America - the greatest and richest country in the world, takes care of its own people - and more should be done. I cannot understand why so many people are so envious of those who need help.....why?

Business owners don't owe these parasites any jobs.

The solution is to eliminate food stamps. Eliminate welfare. Sever penaltis must be leveled on the deadbeats who take people's wealth and evade taxes by not working.

No you support thieves. They steal from my family so they can work. No one is envious they just want their money to be theirs.

Let these freeloaders get a job or starve. Or they can go beg on a corner or ask a church to help them.

Or you know what they could acutally get a job or start a business.

Go clean someones toilet or do work for them.

Then I see these parasite foreigners at the grocery store who can't hardly speak english taking our peoleples labor to feed thier deadbeat wetback asses.

The solution is work not penalizing businesses and peole that work.

You're a fool idiot. When the better white people die off as you like to say. You free loaders will be left with nothing.

What kind of work do you do or are you just a leach?

The cowboy actually works. Your Obama deadbeats are just that deadbeats. Anyone who voted for Obgama who can't support themselves should starve and die. Unless some nice christian is kind and decides to help them.

Also if one of these Obama parasites goes to try and get an abortion. Kill them they already confessed to attempted murder.

We working people are so tired of you and your deadbeats.

The time is coming. Tick Tock.

You're correct, but if the business owners concentrate on building their business here....they will be rewarded!

Nope - you're wrong - We take care of our family, friends, and neighbors. That's the American Way. In fact it is profoundly UN-American to turn our backs on those in need.

It's really none of your business.

But I'll allow it this one time.

"Peole"...good one!

Listen - What I propose would give very attractive tax breaks to ALL U.S. business owners who grow and keep their business HERE - understand?

And there will be incentives for business owners who have shipped American jobs off to employ the "foreigners" you find so distasteful, to bring those jobs back!

These business owners (stockholders) can certainly decide to favor cheap foreign labor over American Labor - but it will cost them - A Lot!

86,429,000

Isn't that about 4-5 millions less than when "Urkel JR" took office in 2008? Doesn't that seem like a lot of people suffering needlessly because of some dumb politicians bullshit policies? And you have people on here who won't say anything bad about him and his policies, they say it's the "American Way" to put up with that shit instead of speaking out against it.

Good for you! based on my proposal you would be looking at a significant tax break! Keep up the good work of growing the US economy!

"...And you have people on here who won't say anything bad about him and his policies,..."

Some can offer nothing more than whining and complaining about government policies that go not favor the wishes of their masters.

So what'll be your approach? Complain like a bitch or step up and be an advocate for all Americans?

I don't hear you criticizing or speaking out against his or the regimes policies, I just hear you whining at those who do.
