The entitlement generation - Minorities, Higher-Income Whites Emerge as Democratic Stronghold - WSJ.com

Sadly, the entitlement generation and supportive unions and politicians base everything on someone else paying for what 'they' want.

In California, the Dems got what they wanted - one more tax on the rich to fund public union retirement benefits.

Europe is replete with higher taxes to fund social benefits.

Sure, a majority want benefits they aren't asked to pay for. The consequences of Obama policies are showing themselves to be a slow drip. This was the same way it was in Greece until a few years ago. The country still can't come to grips with how it got into its fiscal mess.

Is the US that different and should people just back away and be enablers?

Obama may talk about wanting to give people opportunities; but, people aren't stupid and they are generally self-serving and look for the easiest solution. If government provides for them, then what more opportunity can they want but more government that they aren't paying for?
