government they are much easier to control.\u00a0 We are often told that we are not \u201ccompassionate\u201d when we object to the endless expansion of government social programs, but that is not how the debate should be framed.\u00a0 In America today, well over 100 million people receive money from the federal government each month, and the number of Americans that are truly financially independent is continually shrinking.\u00a0 In fact, <a title=\"only 25 percent\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/the-middle-class-is-being-destroyed-now-only-25-percent-of-all-americans-have-10000-or-more-in-savings\">only 25 percent<\/a> of all Americans have more than $10,000 in savings right now according to one survey.\u00a0 If we eventually get to the point where virtually all of us are dependent on the government for our continued existence, that would give the globalists a very powerful tool of control.\u00a0 In the end, they want as many of us dependent on the government as possible, because those that are dependent on the government are a lot less likely to fight against their agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 1992, the bottom 90 percent of American income earners brought in <a title=\"more than 60 percent\"

income.\u00a0 But last year that figure slipped to just 49.7 percent.\u00a0 The wealth of our society is increasingly being concentrated at the very top, and the middle class is steadily being eroded.\u00a0 Surveys have found that somewhere around <a title=\"somewhere around two-thirds of the entire country\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/the-tens-of-millions-of-forgotten-americans-that-the-u-s-economy-has-left-behind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two-thirds of the country<\/a> is living paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time, and so living on the edge has become a way of life for most Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, I came across a <a
