The U.S. Entitlement Culture
I can't stand our entitlement culture. I'm so sick of these freeloaders living off government money.

Re: The U.S. Entitlement Culture
But TL, 100% of politicians fall into the right side category! Do you expect them to slice their own wrist? Regardless of the hot air they spewed during the campaign season? Rhetorical rhetoric at its finest!

Re: The U.S. Entitlement Culture
This is actually important shit. In our country the richest 2% have gotten the middle class fighting for their tax breaks whilst attacking each other (i.e. teacher's unions). It's crazy. This shit is bananas -- B A N A N A S.

Re: The U.S. Entitlement Culture
Text book perfect isn't it, and sadly, no real fix for it. The corrupt have spent too long building the system to protect themselves, creating the illusion of freedom/democracy, blurring the lines of capitalism and keeping public attention diverted to "evils" outside your borders every step of the way.
As much as everyone wants to believe the next President can fix it, the Presidency itself is just another product of that system; belief that one person can do anything is just another tool of that deception. The thought of a UN enforced no-fly zone over the US while the masses march on Washington may tickle my funny bone, but is as much in the realm of fantasy as your/our "freedom". The real revolution, even if more of an evolution, isn't happening like any this planet's seen before. However, of course, it too is fundamentally flawed, (even before the hands of the present-day corrupt had a chance to influence its conception) and it too will run its course and give way to the next big thing, whatever that may be. Face it, for the closest thing to freedom and fairness for all, you're all just going to have to build me a cybernetic AI all-encompassing network for my nano-augmented body to meld with and declare me Boss of Everything.
