OP
Entitlement is correct. "Democrat politician" is incorrect. So perfect fail achieved.

Yup. You can harass someone into correcting their copy and have no comment on the content.

These are benefits that were EARNED... Every paycheck I see how much I contributed to both medicare and social security.. When I turn 65 I am getting something that I earned over the years.. it would help a great deal in the battle of the Republicans if we did not use their words..
