Now this is what I call a sense of entitlement



I have a friend who posted this on Facebook today. He owns a ~40 foot yacht in Pensacola, and loves watching the Blue Angels flyover regularly. He's a great guy (really), and not all that rich... he's just willing to borrow money to do what he enjoys. He's also conservative.

But I was amused at the tone of this post. Lamenting that we're not taking stuff away from poor people to pay for free government entertainment at the yacht club.

Oh, he also commented that the Blue Angels bring lots of tourist dollars to Pensacola. I congratulated him on recognizing government's role in stimulating the economy.
