Yep...More Americans are looking for the government to give them a hand-out instead of a hand-up. What happened to "Ask not what your Country can do for you but what you can do for your Country" I'm pretty sure JFK was not talking about people actually doing something to paying more taxes so those doing less get a check from the government.
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better and that seems to be reflected in the markets.
