What's ironic about the culture of dependency is they never talk about it when we bring up corporate welfare and corporate entitlements. If we really want to talk about entitlements and who is depending upon government, then let's put it all on the table: the billions of dollars that go to special interests, but yet we want to take away services for poor, needy children, families, the elderly, and the disabled. That's really the comparison.
