Every day some GOP legislator from local to national comes up with some absurd and insane statement that reveals the true nature of the GOP. Unless you are part of the rich or productive elite like in the Middle Ages, you are NOT entitled to anything.
During the Middle Ages only the monarchs, nobles and there immediate benefactors were entitled to a decent life. They had the better food, the better waters, the nicer homes and just about any other luxury available at the time. The serfs were only around to provide those luxuries and nothing else.
We see the same attitude in today's GOP. The GOP depends on the serfs who support them to stay in power.
