    JB> By the left using words like "entitlements" they promote a   
      
    It is the right that came up with the term "entitlements" just to promote   
    the idea that the people receiving services have not and will never   
    contribute anything.   
      
    Used to be just welfare, as part of their crusade to abolish all supports,   
    including unemployment insurance. Of course many on welfare had   
    contributed, and fell out of the system. Most on welfare, somewhere around   
    90%, got off on their own before welfare "reform" in the mid '90s. All but   
    the most extremely handicapped could and would get off welfare if we had a   
    true full employment economy. However, I would bet you would oppose any   
    attempt to develop such an economy.   
      
    JB> culture where many folks who pay nothing to the government   
    JB> expect many services well beyond things like roads, defense   
    JB> etc.  It seems like the government  is promoting the   
    JB> culture that you are asking about.   
      
    Like, social security, medicare, public schools, job training? Yes, all   
    those are entitlements by republican think.   
      
    Anyone who spends a dime in this country pays money to the government.   
      
    Since I believe in universal military service and full employment, under   
    my belief system everyone will contribute.   
      
    Those aren't your beliefs, though, are they?
