Identify "...only half of the people," ItsMe.  And don't cite the elderly, children, or the disabled that are on public assistance.  Since you have time to blog on this website, why don't you open this link and see for yourself how many people are eligible for public assistance.  Now, minus public assistance recipients, identify the other half that don't work.  Good luck:
