35. What is with

these assholes thinking that the better percentage of Americans somehow feel entitled? Even the conservatives I know cringe at this kind of commentary--most people I know want to earn their living by working, be it for a company or on their own. I'm sure there are people who game the system, but I don't understand how this got so blown out of proportion.
