Catchy little title, but it is so true. It is utterly stunning how fast the Entitlement populace has exploded and now we have everyone thinking that they are owed everything. That they shouldn't have to work for a damn thing. It is ridiculous.
What happened to the days of having to work hard to EARN what possessions you have. But those days are long gone. Now everyone thinks that they should be able to do as they feel and then when they fail miserably, there should always be a safety net to catch them. And politicians from both sides of our one major political party are hell bent on giving into the entitlement whim for no other reason then to buy votes. Even though they would never admit to it.
But now not it seems that not a day goes by without hearing some news from somewhere in this country of a new program that is being pushed.
Cellphones. It seems that in Colorado it will soon be at the point that those on welfare (one of the biggest programs that creates a plethora of people that wouldn't know how to get off of their ass and work if their lives depended on it) will be able to get cell phones for free. This is utterly ridiculous. These are people living in public housing, using public transportation, while buying food using public money (Wic, Food Stamps, etc), now they will get free phones on the public coffers.
Here's a novel idea. Make these people get off of their ass and get a job, even a minimum wage job. This will help to get people working and take the burden off of me and taxpayers like me. You know the ones that actually work for what they have! Not to mention, the less people on public assistance, the less people that the politicians will have in their back pockets.
It is about time that the ever shrinking working population in this country start demanding that these programs end. Against popular belief, entitlements are not a right. You ARE Entitled to Life, Liberty, Pursuing your own happiness, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom to assemble, Freedom to Bear Arm. And non of these require government to hand them out.
Viva Liberty!
