"Projecting your life upon others is remarkably naive."
My problem with the whole thing is the level of entitlement that everyone seems to have.
I started seeing it a few years ago with the downloading of movies, software, advertising (just look at the adblock community) and games online. When questioned, many people say that nobody deserves a living (I've even seen it here on HN). This level of entitlement has now moved onto: a job, a college education, health care, and a home.
- terrywilcox 15y agoI'm not sure what your point is. The Occupy Wall Street movement may have people who feel entitled to something, but I'd say Wall Street has a bigger sense of entitlement. Remember how upset they got when their bonuses were in danger unless they got bailed out? If you're a tax payer, you're entitled to good government. You're entitled to be treated fairly and equitably. You shouldn't be short changed just because you're only middle class.
- rick888 15y ago"Remember how upset they got when their bonuses were in danger unless they got bailed out?" Entitlement is entitlement. Your argument is that of a child: he's doing something wrong, so I am too. Why can't they be above it? "If you're a tax payer, you're entitled to good government. You're entitled to be treated fairly and equitably. You shouldn't be short changed just because you're only middle class." You're right. I wish my taxes were lower for me. Maybe I should go protest?
