The Entitlement Scamming Class

It has finally dawned on me, just how simple the math is. As we figure the statistics and the probabilities, something just continues to elude the equation. Now, I have it. This American give-away and entitlement mentality has more variables than any algebra equation known. First and foremost, our tax system has nearly eliminated the working middle class, so we have the upper class and lower class. The upper class has come by their money one of three ways. Some have inherited, some have earned, and some have received a windfall of sorts, through invention or investment. And we have the lower class that for the most part work, but life costs just a little more than they make, so they have no assets acquired. The poverty level is yet another variable, as to how to assist without enabling. Sadly, what used to be the middle class is still making a reasonable salary, but the withholding is immense and the cost of living is substantially more than meets the eye. I realize minimum wage is high and interest is low and supposedly inflation is minimal, but there are also factors that have never been factored in before. What used to be middle class working toward acquiring is now, still the same wages that will buy nothing. There was a time when the price of gasoline only had to be budgeted by teen-agers. It was not figured in the cost of living for the working class. Obviously, all the variables cannot be addressed in this single blog, but I am going to address the ever expanding class of citizens in this country. I call it the entitlement scamming class and it is growing. Remember all the laws that Clinton changed to stop generational welfare? Well, this entitlement scamming class is just as generational, because it, also is taught in the home and obviously learned by those watching. This entitlement scamming usually begins with some sort of vague injury or issue to be addressed, or maybe a minor car accident which requires the company to accomodate the excessive days off as a result of the "severe but non-descript syndrome or injury." Then, something interesting occurs that involves a dispute or settlement to be reached with an insurance company, which of course leads to further symptoms and more time off, until ultimately the entitlement scammer obtains their goal, Permanent Disability. And this Permanent Disability must be the cure for most injuries, because once that prize is obtained, these people can do all sorts of physical feats that cannot be accomplished by we mere working drones. If this particular variable were figured in, I'm sure we would find, not only a vast sum of money spent by government agencies, defrauded pension plans, and insurance companies, we'd also realize a large factor in the profit/loss margin for the railroad, the airlines, and the Big 3. So, I guess we do still have three classes, here in America, they are just defined differently. We have the upper class, aka politicians and big business. We have the lower class, aka the working class. And we have the entitlement scamming class.
