That odious SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT of the unworthy poor, of the lazy and stupid working class - that is the reactionary thought I hear expressed almost every minute on right-wing talk radio. " Red Eye Radio " is tireless in its monomaniacal defense of the virtues of " free market capitalism ".
As a working class person am I not " entitled " to suspect a robust-perhaps even a pathological- sense of ENTITLEMENT among the ruling class ? After all, how can they do so little and yet OWN so much of the Good Earth ? Medical science tells me that even a fine human brain-doing HARD WORK- operates with the power of a rather dull electric light bulb.
And medical science has only one objective measure of human EFFORT- calories. Imagine a clinical thermometer as a tool for social justice . It even beats the Guillotine .
It seems that WE work hard for THEIR wealth . Science proves it !
