Something For Nothing

I'm always amazed when I read about what people expect others to give them for free:

"Disgusted with veterinarians because they won’t treat Fido and Fluffy for free? This is a perfect example of the entitlement mentality that has bankrupted America. It is perfectly understandable, after all, our government has spoiled the non-producing populace for decades by paying for whatever people can’t afford. Want kids you can’t afford? Don’t worry, the government will bail you out. Want a house or car you can’t afford? Don’t worry, the government will bail you out. Get anything you want, the government will bail you out. Want common sense? Forget it, the government is out of stock and can’t even backorder. It’s reality check time. The government is broke. The FDIC is billions in the red. Nearly 800 banks are on the endangered list. China is ready to call in our astronomical debt which we can’t pay. And most veterinarians are not going to borrow $100,000 in student loans and spend years in school so they can treat your animals, which you can’t afford, for free. There are some tough decisions to be made by all. This is as good a place as any to start."
