Watching and listening to so many arguments over “entitlement” programs, I sat back one day and penned this little quote:
“It’s not up to society to -grant- the standard of living; it’s up to the individual to strive for it themselves.”
I’m all for charitable giving and trying to help others. However, the point at which a society is simply using my moral ethic to milk me of my hard earned standard of living, I may just give up my ethic and live off yours. Then who will be the provider?
I think that’s about as basic as it gets. If I really need to explain it further, I don’t know you’ll ever really “get it.”
