When a truth claim is made, the burden of proof rests on the one making it. It isn't my job to prove the opposite; it's your job to prove what you said true.
I won't hold my breath, given your well-known aversion to actually discussing facts or offering sources for anything you have to say.
What exactly do you want here? Is there a study available that goes door to door and asks people on the government dole whether they're still on it the following year?
49% of US households receive some sort of government assistance. Highest ever.
46 million on food stamps. Highest ever.
11 million on disability. Highest ever.
None of these numbers are going down. They're all trending up and have been. That doesn't sound like a culture that's not dependent on government programs to me, but you just keep on keepin on with your circular logic and moving the goal posts.
