If We're Forced to Pay For Sandra Fluke's Birth Control, What's Next?
In the interest of serving the audience, I reprise my February 28th satire on this shameful Sandra Fluke controversy. At its core, the issue is the government's attempt to mug us, and the culture of entitlement that has led a generation to shamelessly demand that the rest of us pay for what they want.
Remember: For every entitlement, there is a corresponding obligation.
For everyone who feels entitled, there is someone else upon whom they will stick the bill.
This is why we have a $15 trillion national debt.
The 2008-09 financial crisis was likely caused by intentional bad conduct. Some of this conduct may have been illegal and caused by more than mere negligence, stupidity or ignorance (none of which should constitute crimes).
