Comments on: The Myth of Entitlement http://www.tacticalintelligence.net/blog/the-myth-of-entitlement.htm Intelligent Know-How for the Concerned Citizen Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:17:57 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Tactical Intelligence http://www.tacticalintelligence.net/blog/the-myth-of-entitlement.htm/comment-page-1#comment-30806 Tactical Intelligence Wed, 28 Dec 2011 16:19:26 +0000 http://www.tacticalintelligence.net/?p=462#comment-30806 Again some great comments here phoenix. I agree that a resource-based economy would be a better solution, however I don't feel we are there yet. Until there is a general mindset shift toward that direction (either through enlightenment or through necessity), we will forever be in this commodity-based society. Although I agree that the "powers that be" are the ultimate cause, it still doesn't excuse the"slaves" from taking ownership of their own lives (and I'm not talking about those who are receiving aid out of necessity here). Free will and the ability to choose how we respond to our individual circumstances is an innate gift given to all humans. Again some great comments here phoenix.

I fear one day they'll figure out a way to make us pay for the very air we breath after industrialism has polluted our atmosphere! It's now becoming illegal to capture rainwater, clean and safe drinking water, we are forced to pay for dirty water piped into our homes. We can't even grow our own food and give it to others without fear of the USDA, just watched a video about these people who had a public gathering of freshly picked/slaughtered food from their farm, feeding meals prepared on site to friends, family and the public who visited the farm. Health dept. came down and forced them to stop and pour BLEACH onto the food so they couldn't feed it to even their livestock. See, the problem isn't assistance programs, nor people who are in a rut and end up on these programs, it's our laws that demand people to pay others for the right to life. The tyranny, oppression and slavery needs to end. People shouldn't own other people and I'm sorry, but slavery is still a very big part of our modern civilization, the only difference is, we keep our slaves stupid with public education and quiet with assistance programs. The elite still need a lower class underpaid group of people making just a bare scratch in the dirt to do the hard labor jobs for them. You want to see real entitlement issues, look to those who have money, not to those who don't have it and end up on assistance. The ignorance of complaining about those on assistance needs to stop. People don't always end up on assistance because they're lazy.

From the elite rich to the poor lower class. What we are entitled to is a right to life, food, shelter, potable water, heat. The basic necessities of life. Unfortunately society frowns upon those who don't PAY others for exercising that right to life. The answer is simple, they feel entitled to make you pay them because they own the land, they set the rules of what your allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do, they feel entitled to own the planet and all it's resources which for thousands of years was a resource own by anyone who could freely make use of. The problem with entitlement is our elite feel entitled to make us PAY them for what is now no longer a right, but a privilege in their eyes, for the right to life.

Tough love is admired in parenting. Perhaps the ponytailed poster boy for this was the guy to asked Bill Clinton the question about what he would do as our figurative parent during the debate with Bush I at Richmond. The answer should have been tough love! Unfortunately the E + R = O is something that too many have learned to read as:
E = want something
R = look to government to supply
O = vote for someone who will take from those who have and “redistribute it”

The only answer then is to eliminate that choice, but, being a compassionate society, we have not been willing to do this… so then by trying to help, we make things worse and get in even deeper.

I do see hope in that a lot of people are beginning to "wake up" so to speak. You’re very welcome Tom. I do see hope in that a lot of people are beginning to “wake up” so to speak.
