A lot of people think that this election is about our entitlements, the entitlements of the 99% like Social Security or Medicare. What many people don't realize is that this election is really about Protecting the Entitlements of the 1%. That's why Mitt "I'm Entitled to the Absolute BEST in Government Services and you're entitled to exactly Nothing" Romney is their nominee.
We need to stop letting the right get away with using the word "entitlements" to mean the earned benefits of Social Security and others that enable us to live in a civil society. We need to redefine it to refer to the people (and corporations that are people, my friend) that benefit most from government largesse. We need to take back the word entitlements.
