Now it appears cell phones are a "Civil Right" in Pennsylvania. The stupidity of the poor, "I need it, and want it, so give it to me" crowd never ceases to amaze me.  Bill T.

Ya know Billt,I'm with you on this,I dont post much but I'm here several times a day.This sense of entitlement is a real pet peeve of mine,I see it everyday.I want it,you must give it to me for free!.I'f I had my way these lazy oxygen stealing buttwipes would be told to go out and get a job or go p**s up a rope.I worked for nearly 40 years untill I had to retire because of health issues and I'm sure you worked all of your life and paid your own way.There's no reason they can't do the same.I make exceptions for the aged,ill and single parents,but the rest of them "GET YOUR A** TO WORK!!!"

All of this blessing of entitlement comes from not heeding the biblical principle that if a slackard won't work you shouldn't feed him.  Help the sick, the old, the widow....but not a lazy person.

The Great Society...thanks LBJ for accelerating this crap on us.

Where is LBJ buried?  I feel the need to urinate.

While LBJ did get the ball rolling on this crap, the current cockroach that occupies the White House is doing his best to keep it going, and bankrupt this country at the same time. You can blame one guy for a bad idea for just so long. When other idiots skin their knuckles trying to keep it going, you have to wonder what wavelength these fools are tuned into?   Bill T.

Social security is not an entitlement, it's your own money that the Dems diverted out of a trust fund to finance bribing low income voters.
That being said, the only ones who should qualify for "entitlements" are the unemployed who are actively seeking work.

My opinion would be unions are primarily responsible for jobs in this country going overseas.  Know how much a 18 year old kid / UAW broom pusher gets paid to start?  $16.50 an hour with full benefits at 90 days.  And that's AFTER all the reductions they were "forced to endure".  So should the government be picking up the tab for unemployment?  If UAW paid 70% of the national total each month I think that'd be about right.

UAW has a contract with GM that they've been fighting over for decades which states "as long as GM exists, certain plants WILL be open, and producing product under UAW rule."  The Lake Orion, MI plant is an example.  The $ amount I quoted above is in their local papers.

"Will this Entitlement Mentality Ever Stop?"  NEVER.  Until the unions are gone anyway.  They had their day when they were needed.  And it's LOOOOONNG past!

In answer to the original question, no the entitlement mentality will never stop.  Our society (via our government) has become enablers ready and willing to prop up those who are too lazy to make their own way in the world.  

Help those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to help themselves.  Help those who are doing their best, but through no fault of their own are coming up short.  F**k the rest.  

1)  You want to poop out a kid?  Fine, just don't expect me to pay for it.  Get the sperm donor to step up and face his responsibilities.  He is, after all, the one who got the fun out of the deal.

2)  You want to abort an unwanted pregnancy?  While I find that personally and morally repugnant, it's really none of my business.  That's something (imho) that is between you and your Creator.  Get your abortion, but don't expect me to pay for it.  For more information, see point #1.

Maybe I'm heartless and cruel, but after working and paying into the system for 40 years, then being denied access to my own money in the form of Social Security Disability benefits after my health went to hell, I can't muster a whole lot of sympathy for you if you sit on your ass waiting for somebody else to pay your way in the world.  f..k you, get off your lazy ass and get a f....k job, or starve.


Hopefully that is a fairly understandable synopsis of my position on this issue.

I can't believe how much better I feel now!!

Putting the burden on private sector Unions isn't the answer. Only about 10% of the work force belongs to them.
If you wanted to really clean up, put the burden on PUBLIC SECTOR Unions, like SEIU, They are at 35% and rising.

We don't have "poor" people. We have lazy bungholes stealing everything up to and including our air. Truly poor people aren't FAT!!
America has the fattest "poor" people on the planet. How can you consume 3000+ calories a day if you have no money?
And now they need a cellphone? For what? Just anxiously waiting for that Personnel guy to call and say "you're hired"? Sure...
