Government Legacy of Entitlement

I received an email with the subject line "view from a young doctor".
My first reaction was another spam email. I read part and it captured my interest and finished reading it. What a brave young man. Next I wanted to check it out and see if it was true or just spam.  I could not find anything that said it was a myth and if you do and I missed it please let me know. It felt it was a letter from the heart. There was the amazement and sense of imbalance in the letter. I often experienced those feelings at my old job.
As I read it, I thought back to when I was working to help people get counseling and encourage them to take advantage of opportunities for them to get an education.
The lack of enthusiasm and sense of entitlement many of my clients appeared  to maintain left me frustrated.

I also believe our government is promoting this attitude of entitlement with the benefits they are providing for themselves.  The lobbyists that are representing greed driven companies dominate our culture. 
Those living on a small budget continue to attempt making thier money stretch. Often an almost impossible task. Many are trying to be accountable and responsible, managing their finances and hoping now and again to enjoy an occasional luxury like going to the movies. Something those making the laws in our government take for granted. 
Sadly, I dont have a solution, I wonder if there is one? I hang on to hope, write my frustrations and believe when the time comes the God of my understanding will do what needs to be done to get our world back on track. For me that means a world where we respect each other, no enabling, teaching strong work ethics and sharing a cooperation of spirit resulting in a better world. I guess for today you can call my Pollyanna.
