A few months ago I would have disagreed with you about the whole Entitlements thing. HOWEVER, just a few weeks ago, during one of my YouTube marathons, I came upon a video where a black teen robbed a home in Florida and ended up being shot dead by the homeowner; who had been previously been robbed at least once.
The real kicker was when the news team interviewed the dead teen's sister and one part of it went like this:
Sister: "You have to look at it from every child's point of view who was raised in The Hu-ood. How he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school?"
It was one of those moments where I had to pause and ask myself if she really said what I thought she said.

According to Strauss and Howe in The Fourth Turning, human civilization is a collage of various cycles: economic, renaissance, etc. The full master cycle tends to come and go every 80 years, primarily due to human generations and how by the 4th generation, they have forgotten everything the first generation learned and it starts all over. Anyway, this current time we are in now is the end of that 80 year megacycle where the worst of all things are coming together. The good news is that the following cycle will be a fresh start...once we get through this mess.
The world governments, conglomerates and money controllers are corrupt. While many believe the powers that be are ready to implement their final stages for world conquest, I believe that they are really on the edge of going over the cliff and will become the powers that WERE. With the blessing of the internet, more and more of their dirty deeds are becoming known (the Panama papers, all of the perverts being outed, the intentional attempts to destabilize the middle east being revealed, the hidden details of 9/11 in the secreted 28 pages coming out, etc.). The money system is on the edge of collapse globally. While there is the potential for complete and utter disaster if there is a financial collapse, I tend to believe there is some divine intervention nudging us in the right direction. Just getting the truth into the Mass Consciousness is enough to turn the tides. We make our own reality in what we believe. That's why real leaders are soooo important; they help us believe that we can do good things as a society. Unfortunately, its been a very long time since we've seen any real leaders at the top levels. Fortunately, this country has many great leaders at the lower levels, like the good people who run our small businesses, local churches, and the schools where a real education is top priority.
Well, that answer really took a turn
