I already checked/recheck to make sure that I didn't have R1 & R2 reversed. The primary current consumption on this circuit is a transistor that has a maximum collect current rating of 70mA. 

 

Is this just a case of using too much resitance and it's causing a ton of voltage drop under load as a result?  Perhaps if I picked up some small value ohm resistors?
