Here's my idea of entitlement... I'll pay an employer to hire you... and if you work and keep working - you'll get paid - the wage you should earn plus what you'd get on welfare. At least this way you'll get some training and might actually find yourself being useful like normal people do.

I don't mind paying taxes - I pay LOTS of taxes - what I do mind is my taxes going to foreign governments - of any kind - and my taxes going to pay people to sit not their duffs.. while my roads crumble and my bridges don't get built etc. Government should only be in the business of ROADS - EDUCATION - MILITARY - nothing else.
I agree Greg. Great post.
What I hate is the "class warfare" talk as well. I always tell people that like to rip the rich/successful,.........."Have you ever worked for a poor person?" You should see how fast that shuts them up. lol
