Subject: Re: who provide for the other 60% (public sector)
(V): "40%+60%+ how much do the infirm and unemployed working age people account for?"
I might have missed a class or two as well The current unemployment rate is about 8% (we'll assume it includes the infirm), so we now have a worse situation where 32% of the working population provide for the 60% in public sector and services + 8% unemployed.
In other words, only about 11% of the total population are wealth creators!
