Without it, they would simply be even poorer.<br /><br />Why is it that when Paul Ryan's parents accept government benefits it is a means to an end, a "hand up" ... but everyone else who accepts government benefits is just part of the 47% of 'takers'? Pure hypocrisy.

Between 2000 and 2010 -- 11 million secretaries lost their jobs and those jobs aren't coming back. Any number of jobs that pay middle class wages have been lost due to techonogy -- meter readers, travel agents, etc. The jobs that lead to upward mobility are simply not there anymore.
