I am not sure which is worse: the Greek workers and similar trying to milk as many perks back from their overly large governments or the American workers and similar sitting back quietly and taking whatever abuses that their overly large governments dole out to them. So should you feel entitled or should you feel wrongly somehow to blame and thus double down and work harder thus sending the beast even more unearned wealth? Of course, the answer must be somewhere in between. If the government takes 30% I expect to get 20% or 25% back in benefits with the rest going to help the less fortunate. Instead if the government takes 30%, it seems like 25% goes to makes some rich people richer, I get back 3% in benefits and 2% goes to the less fortunate. Yet somehow they got us mad and focused on the 2% going to the less fortunate instead of the wasted 25%. (I am sure it is not that extreme, but it sure feels like that to me.)
