Huh. I still think government handouts are bribes for votes. Those receiving the handouts certainly turnout in force to support the ones giving the handouts.
And the offense that 'takers' take at being called a 'taker' is amazingly dishonest as well. If you 'take' more out of a system than to contribute to that system, you must be a net 'taker' by definition, right? Consider it as an engineering term, a statement of fact, rather than a derogatory appellation.
So they apparently believe they are entitled to 'take', and we are obligated to contribute, but it is poor form point out the irrevocable fact that they are taking from us because it makes them 'feel' bad?
“Deserved recipient of redistributive social justice” has such a nice ring to it.
Building up self-esteem is so important, don’t you agree?
