Get Your Hand-Out of my Pocket
Posted by Scott BannonA Public Service Announcement about Social Services
Over and over I’ve heard some people ranting about entitlement (formerly known as ’social’ but that sounded too much like something pleasant–you know, like a “social gathering”–so they changed the name) programs. When I sat down to write this my goal was to argue, with solid evidence why many taxpayer funded programs are not only necessary but beneficial to the taxpayers funding them.
However, the deeper in I got the more I realized that instead I’d like to argue in support of cutting all these darn entitlement programs once and for all. Starting with law enforcement agencies naturally.
That’s right, I’d classify taxpayer funded law enforcement at all levels as entitlement programs. Wouldn’t you? They’re bureaucratic nightmares which only serve the interests of some members of society while all taxpayers are forced to pay for them. It’s completely unfair and unnecessary. So long as the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution stands people can protect their own homes and crap–ditto their own personal space while out in public.
We don’t really need these large agencies all over the place continuing to drain from hard working American’s do we? Heck, they don’t even really prevent crime very often anyway and from coast to coast they seem to constantly bungle the investigations post-crime, so let’s just stop pouring good money after bad into them once and for all.
And guess what? That’s right, no law enforcement agencies would mean no more need for prosecutor’s offices. Another bunch of entitlement programs across this land shut down… I’m feeling giddy already.
I guess the same should apply for paid fire departments too. Stop it already–you don’t need them!
Form a neighborhood bucket brigade and quit stealing people’s money to fund these monstrousness entities. They just make people who don’t have to do it themselves lazy and more dependent, it’s a self-enforcing cycle. And just think, it’d be an opportunity for many Americans to finally get to know a few of their neighbors… like in the good ‘ol days.
And the 911 system? Are you kidding me? Hello… it’s another entitlement program that was created for the sole purpose of what?–So that you could more rapidly use and abuse the services of other entitlement programs. We’re completely out of control.
Public Defenders? Jumping Jehoshaphats we’ve lost our minds. This is the ultimate screw-twist to taxpayers. We actually use taxpayer’s money to fund an entitlement program which supports people who were investigated, chased down, arrested and charged by members of other taxpayer funded entitlement programs. It’s a dog chasing his tail.
People, the government is not your money manager, your brother to be your keeper or your babysitter. It’s time we end all of these stupid entitlement programs and let freedom ring. Most Americans will do just fine and you shouldn’t feel bad for those who don’t. They had their chance and get to take their lumps, it’s the American Dream. Stop drowning them in your sympathy and let them at least keep their pride.

Each new thing I read that Scott writes makes me feel infinitely more retarted. I think his cunning wit and charm are about as funny as sexual abuse or partial-birth abortion. Ya, those things keep me in stitches too. Every word of this screed that I read, I feel my IQ dropping.
I would debate the merits of the argument, but upon hiring a private investigator who searched for months, we couldn’t locate a single coherent thought worth responding to.
