Sense of Entitlement

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

As I listened to the drive-by media play clips of the last Clinton-Obama debate, I couldn’t help but wonder to which special interest groups they were pandering. Anything that either of them espouses carries the enormous costs (to us taxpaying middle class citizens) of yet another entitlement program. Neither will really come out and say what they really want to do - redistribute wealth. Both see themselves as modern day Robin Hood.

There are some in this country that have the outrageous attitude that the world “owes” them and they want to collect “now.” Forget about honest pay for honest work.

Since Hoover, we’ve been raising generations of people who succeed at playing the victim role in a manner deserving an Oscar. They don’t want to take responsibility for the personal decisions they’ve made. Nor can they distinguish between a necessity and an indulgence. As a result, we foot the bill.

You, the voter, have 198 days to make a decision. More entitlements, anyone?
