Why is a program we have all invested in considered an entitlement....

Advertisements [?]

The use of the word Entitlement is loaded with regal and therefor negative connotation.

Shouldn't Social Security and Medicare be considered a public investment program?

Really, if you want to know who has a sense of Entitlement, look at those precious, soft skinned privileged few populating the top 1%. These are the folks who have a deep sense of entitlement. After all, they firmly believe without their knowledge and wisdom and investment prowess, where would the rest of us poor schleps be...

If that isn't a sense of entitlement, I surely don't know what is...
