Entitlement Reform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement.

In a casual sense, the term "entitlement" refers to a notion or belief that one (or oneself) is deserving of some particular reward or benefit^[1]—if given without deeper legal or principled cause, the term is often given with pejorative connotation (e.g. a "sense of entitlement").

    Now that is a glaring meaning for the word you hear in the news today Entitlements. What they fail to tell you is the part where they made it a law over 70 years ago to make you pay into them with a promise that when you are older and you have worked all you life, that money was suppose to help you live out the rest of your life. Now the only part of the meaning at the top of the page is benefits based on rights legislation. Well that was not the true intention, this system was set up to give retired people something to fall back on during retirement. It was also use as a benefit for people who became disabled during the performance of their work or of a grave illness. Now this came about because most companies did not have the means or were not required to offer these as part of the job. And through out the years it has become increasingly harder for an employer to provide such benefits. But getting back to entitlements. The only reason this has become such a compelling issue is because it deflects the blame for all this mess to someone other than the person who got us into it in the first place. And it seems to be working. Lets all get mad at retired people and disabled people. Mob mentality. But what if you gave those people the right to put their money into what ever they wanted to or would have never taken it from them in the first place. You know never came up with this Law in the first place. Hum, thats a thinker. I seen a article some years ago their was some 70 trillion dollars saved up for people who had paid into the system for more than 70 years.  To politicians this is dollar signs glimmering in their eyes. They stuck their hands in the cookie jar so many times they have ran out of money. In other words they were like robbers they knew they were not suppose to touch it (byLaw) but they found ways around that, remember they make the laws.   People, Government systems do not work they never have these people cannot run anything just look at the out come of Social Security, just one of the programs they have destroyed. By making you give them money and telling you this is for your retirement, and then using it as a political ploy to blame there unbelievable spending spree they have been on for years. Social programs that do not work, Health care that will break this country. My God people wake up learn what has gone on and Vote all these idiots out of office, and lets put some everyday americans in their place instead of lawyers and lobbyists for large companies. If a person spends hundreds of thousands of dollars for a job that pays one tenth of that there is probably a reason for it. This country has lawed us and taxed us into oblivion. Who knows what will happen but if you listen to the people in charge it seems to be the same old story lets get China to by more of our debit and kick the can down the road. 

Examples

1. Check the cost for each elected official to the taxpayer.

2. Check the benefits they received once they leave office.

3. Check how many times they have given themselves cost of living raises while telling americans they have no money to do the same for them.

4. Check the medical benefits verses everyone else.

5. Money that gets sent to other countries to prop up their economy.

6. All tax payer money.

And so on. There are so many area's that should be looked at it is not funny. I guess I am just tired of people throwing around the word entitlement reform. And it is all entitlements fault. And so one. It is a spending problem congress going wild buying, and giving away money to their favorite lobbyist and favorite bank accounts.
