47%, sure some of that 47% are victims, actually need help etc...a very small percentage. Others in that 47% are lazy, or have discovered they can make more money living off the government and so they do...it has nothing to do with being a victim or incapable. There are all types of people who fit into this group, some do need help but no sane person can say that the majority of the people in this country that get some type of government assistance actually need it. Granted, they might technically need it based on their bank account, but if there's nothing actually wrong with you then you really don't need it.

....and I don't think most people who complain about Obama's policies actually consider themselves victims. I don't like what he's done but don't consider myself a victim. I don't like the fact that because I'm self-employed and I make just enough money that I pay almost 30% of my income in taxes and no one in their right mind would consider me rich. Am I a victim? No, I simply continue to do the best I can and hope for improvements in this insanely messed up system.
