IMO is less relevant that this overall perception that whites pay into the system and blacks collect. False, but I don't know how many white people between postings on FB and the things they say play into this falsehood in order to feel superior about themselves. They work so hard to support the 46%. Boo hoo and false. It's their excuse for voting Republican.
