Question Mark

It doesn't have to be only governmental handouts, but those certainly lead people to think of what was initially a program to help folks in need as their right, as if they were entitled to it simply because of who they are. [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] Did that make sense? I don't feel too well this evening.... I have heard people speak about a Social Security check as if they deserved it for some reason, not because they might be classified as someone in need of the check.
The same phenomenon has been seen in our area (as well as others, I'm sure). One woman told Belle that "it is his job to make enough money to let me spend however much I like whenever I like". Very spoiled.
