Entitlement society? It's time to reframe that one!!

Mitt Romney thinks he is entitled to be President because it is his turn.

Churches think they are entitled to preach politics and remain tax exempt.

Republicans think they are entitled to start wars and not send their kids to fight their wars.

Oil Companies think they are entitled to tax breaks.

Banksters think they are entitled to gamble with tax payer money and then beg for bailouts when they screw up.

Republicans think they are entitled to destroy our oceans, our land, our air in the name of business.

Republicans think they are entitled to tell a woman what they can or cannot do with their body, all while thinking men are entitled to boner pills.

And of course, the rich think they are entitled to not pay taxes, and to not give back to the country.

And now we find out that a child that is starving - by no fault of her own - is not entitled to food.

---------------

Keep it going - what else do Republicans think they are entitled to????
