Corporations and the rich are "entitled", not those on social security and food stamps.
I'm on social security disability (posting this at the library) and I'll tell you, I live with others who are and many who are on food stamps as their only way of staying off the streets. Who want to make something better of their lives. We don't live on yachts and in mansions and laugh at the government for giving us money. The place I live (and I'm grateful for it) has 12 men in three bedrooms.

Tax breaks for the rich and incorporated (GE didn't pay any taxes last year) are ENTITLEMENT. "I'm entitled to more money because I'm rich!". Those trying to keep of the streets are not full of this same thing.

1. That word, it does not mean what you think it means.
The rich hold NO title to MY social security. I paid into it, I hold the title. It is MY entitlement.

Tax breaks for the rich and incorporated engender a false sense of entitlement - they are NOT entitled to them.
