The folks living off the gov't check don't realize they've given up their liberty. They think they're entitled. In some way this is what social security & medicare taxation has done to Americans. They feel the govt owes them, and I can't say I disagree. You figure, you're forced to pay tax for literally 50 years in order to have a check come to you in your old age. Moral decay is what it is... How do you wean the young off the gov't teet?
