I heard it was 23% of the work force.
Does that make 1/4 of America Socialist.

21 million people or 16% of the employed labor force as of 2005. This does not make America socialist, but it means we have a big bureaucracy.
(I got this number from old BLS statistics -- the new website is chopped up and I can't find a more current estimate).

It means 1 in 4 American workers don't pay into the Social Security System.
