Oh, the shame of it! Some of the most famous cartoon cats, lining up for federal handouts because of hairballs! Bill, Garfield, Felix, Hobbes, (some phony), and the Cat in the Hat.Thus cats become dependent (PC: domesticated) and the federal power apparatus expands to cover yet another segment of the population. WE’RE ENTITLED! We’re enslaved!
Well, I’ve been paying into the social security system for 40 years. I guess I’m “entitled” to the money the government said they would hold and invest for me.
Unless I’m just supposed to feel like some sort of lazy bum who’s “entitled” after working 40+ years and trusting my government.
The love of money isn’t the root of all evil, stupidity is.
Sometime in the 1980s there was much to-do about welfare cheating black Mothers who were “supposed” to have babies for government money. (Helluva way to earn money, but I digress). Each baby generated so much income, (actual dollar figure varied, depending on which Republican was lying). My union did a national study on welfare cheating. Turns out that primary welfare cheats are white men.Again, I can give examples from personal observations.

Yeah, the love of money isn’t the root of all evil, entitlement is.

Snoopy would never be caught dead impersonating a cat.

Interesting that Krazy Kat isn’t in line. She always did march to a different drummer.

I’m not willing to believe it’s Hobbes. I think it’s Tony.
