\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Keith in Phoenix. I\u2019m glad you called. Welcome to the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How\u2019s it going? It\u2019s truly an honor to talk to the man that single-handedly helped change my life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much. I hope that\u2019s for the better.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah, I was gonna say, “And it\u2019s for the better.” I was calling because I am currently 31, and I am a product of the liberal way of thinking. My mother… I grew up in California; my mother was on disability. So when I turned 28, my girlfriend got pregnant, and I instantly went straight to the DES, which is the Department of Economic Security, and I signed up for the entitlement. Well, about a year later, it was getting old.<\/p>\n

So I moved out here to Arizona. I started out at the bottom, making only $10 an hour, but I really started to appreciate what I was getting. Now I slowly worked my way up to where I\u2019m making a decent amount. I don\u2019t need the entitlement. (groans) Like, the problem with everybody is they\u2019re all entitled, so everybody runs around like a bunch of Veruca Salts screaming, “I want it now,” instead of going out and working for it. And we have the president going out there and, y\u2019know, just telling everybody, “You\u2019re entitled, and if you can\u2019t hope and dream and wait, well, then just go ahead and take it!”<\/p>\n

RUSH: He does play that up. That\u2019s what hope and change is. He does promote that kind of entitlement thinking. He does it on the basis that you\u2019ve been screwed. The powerful forces, whatever, have shafted you and it\u2019s time you got yours back.<\/line>
