Aren't big business tax breaks just another entitlement? Isn't Bachmanns office in DC? Isn't the healthcare insurance she recieves an entitlement? And her farm subsidies? (she doesn't have a farm, least not as any farmer here in MN can figure out). I don't mean to single her out (yes I do), but aren't there just so many republican blowholes out there making a big thing about this when they are actually getting there fair share? Or more?
Who gets the most tax breaks, $ wise? Is it really the poor, the disabled or Elderly?
Wouldn't getting rid of the big corporate tax shelters be enough to really help with the debt they helped create? And the money that is NOT being paid back from those biggies, is that their entitlement?
An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement. - wikiwhatever
Aren't the biggest complainers always referring to it as a 'sense' of entitlement?
In a casual sense, the term "entitlement" refers to a notion or belief that one (or oneself) is deserving of some particular reward or benefit[1]—if given without deeper legal or principled cause, the term is often given with pejorative connotation (e.g. a "sense of entitlement"). - wikiwhatever
Maybe it's just my sense of what is right and what is wrong morally.
I don't know, maybe some of those on the far right don't understand that their own sense of entitlement is just that.
