This chart shows how the percentage of households in the United States has been increasing since the 1980's. What is interesting is that the percentage dropped in the late 1990's only to then increase. The problem with this statistic is that benefits like Social Security are included which people can't opt out of (I wish they could). When people get something from the government why wouldn't they vote for a party that promises to give them even more of those same benefits?
