    He does use entitlement in an unusual way. Of course exoticdoc2 is most likely NOT in the group depicted on the right, and probably not in the group at left either.

    @exoticdoc2When I was in the U.S. ground forces I was “entitled” to work 12-20 hour days, sometimes not having a day off in a couple weeks here in the states, much less frequent overseas. At an hourly rate I made sub-minimum wages with no tips and I couldn’t raid the icebox. Not ALL gov’t./union workers are living the life of entitlement.

    Well said $$19 and thank you for your service. These comments demonstrate how over-generalized some of our thinking has become. It’s rarely “all this way” or “all that way.” Wiley encourages us to think it through and even get a giggle in the process.

    For one, your point is nonsense. Just what mythical being are you referring to?

    Sorry, I’m feeling a bit grumpy today and sometimes these ridiculous comments are over the top.

    After reading this comic and before scrolling to the comments, I thought, “Oh, s***, what uneducated nonsense is exoticdoc2 going to troll us with today?” Nice to see so many people handing him his rear end, though, especially since I have family and friends who have worked for the government and are getting screwed by conservative policies.

    By the way, I don’t need an EBT card, I pay for my phone, I followed all the rules to get my driver’s license, I pay for my healthcare, and I still don’t vote Republican.

    Because it is easier to beat up the poor and retired than go after the corporate looters. The corporations count on this.

    If you ate all the rich and handed out their money “fairly and equally” to the whole population, in less than a generation things would be back to the way they were before. You may not like human nature, but you ought to at least give it some respect.

    George, probably if we sat down, looked each other in the eyes and talked about it all would be OK with both of us.

    I am a Democrat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with one. I live lightly in a rural area and get along fine with people much more conservative than me.

    What is nonsensical about your comment is that is simply not true. I don’t know of anyone who fits into your criteria.

    By the way your icon disturbs me.

    When I was a little kid and my mom took me on the subway she said, “Never touch the third rail.” So I’m not commenting on today’s strip.

    As a current government Civilian employee in the DoD there are people who are “entitled” and there are hard workers that carry the rest., but that happens in the private sector as well – union or non-union. Right now I work as hard as a can (often putting in some unpaid overtime) do the best I can to make sure that I carry my load, and that those under me carry theirs. I also work to make sure our soldiers are paid, and that the civilians are good stewards of what the taxpayer puts into Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen.

    Al Franken’s car trunk full of ballots may not be fraud but it sure stinks like it. The local news found “enough errors to change a close election” in just a couple days research here in Los Angeles.

    Well since you asked, I don’t care if you are libertarian or whatever party you feel you belong to. What matters is how you support others who are not in the snug environment that you may be experiencing. We’re all on this little world together bro.

    The only inaccuracy is the staircase—it needs to be an elevator because the entitled can’t possibly make it up the stairs in their electric carts…

    Those who work for a living get income; those who work too hard for a living, sometimes, like me, get Social Security Disability. I’d give anything to trade that for a real income!!!
