WHO DON'T ENTITLEES ASK “WHERE DOES THE BUCK START?”

Demand personal responsibility over entitlement

Patriot Update – David L. Goetsch – 1/11/2013

In his book Liberty and Tyranny, Mark Levin says this about government entitlements: “If the Statist were to devise a scheme whereby a grandparent would be stealing future earnings from his own grandchild, would the grandparent consent to such immoral behavior? Yet entitlement programs tend to be intergenerational swindles that threaten the well-being of future generations with massive financial obligations incurred from benefits received by today’s generation.”

They are crippling individual Americans by robbing them of any sense of self-reliance and personal responsibility—two key ingredients in the traditional American work ethic. People who come to depend on government entitlements are saying that it is acceptable to expect someone else to pay for their needs rather than taking personal responsibility for them. This is nothing more than legalized theft, and the government is the thief.

Entitled people tend to:

1) View the world as inherently unfair and see themselves as victims - chronically angry - the Occupy Movement

2) Develop a fear for taking risks of the kind that are an essential part of success in a competitive society.

3) Tend to fail at any enterprise they undertake—including personal relationships—because they have developed a negative attitude that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

4) Tend to become addicted to counterproductive behaviors and substances - I will seek comfort in drugs, alcohol, gambling, or other counterproductive behaviors - permanent victims

With the space available in this column, I have barely scratched the surface of this topic. For a more comprehensive treatment, refer to our book, Rules for Conservative Radicals available at www.patriotdepot.com .

BLOGGER COMMENT:  Everyone who signs up for an entitlement must first be taught economics, that their “free money” comes from a hard working tax payer and their children and future grandchildren and all future generations.  It’s called GENERATIONAL THEFT.
