Entitlement.  Now that’s a strange word to use for people who collect on social security after they have paid into it their entire lives.

But there is a good use of the word entitlement.  At its entry in the dictionary this picture needs to go beside it.  That’s Republican congressvarmint Steve Fincher.

Fincher has some strongly held beliefs about food stamps that feed working families who live under the poverty level.

SNAP has already been clobbered in the Farm Bill, cutting off nearly 2 million working families, children, and seniors from food assistance.

But, that’s not enough, says Fincher.

The role of citizens, of Christians, of humanity is to take care of each other, but not for Washington to steal from those in the country and give to others in the country.

Steal?  Did he say steal?

USDA data collected in EWG’s 2013 farm subsidy database update — going live tomorrow –shows that Fincher collected a staggering $3.48 million in “our” money from 1999 to 2012. In 2012 alone, the congressman was cut a government check for a $70,000 direct payment. Direct payments are issued automatically, regardless of need, and go predominantly to the largest, most profitable farm operations in the country.

That, my friends, is entitlement.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
