The word entitlement should be struck from the lexicon. You're not entitled to shit except life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I've got no problem with a social safety net. But when it becomes "entitled" that's a problem.
Let's call all of them, entitlements, subsidies, grants, what they really are. Welfare, charity, giveaways, jackpots. I first read 1984 during the Nixon years. Chilling then, more so now.
Language is the most powerful tool there is. Just look how the language of this republic have resonated over 200 yrs. Based on language from the Greeks and Romans from over 2000 years ago. Someone has to reframe the debate.
