Our society is becoming an entitlement society...want, want, want...what can YOU do for ME? I DESERVE.....most of us that grew up didn't "DESERVE" anything...we earned it. How many of you guys DESERVED you first car and how many earned it with hard work? How many of you guy DESERVED a great job or did you work your way UP? In the line of doing my job you would be surprised how many of the upcoming generation have the I DESERVE mentality....
But this kind of thing just enforces that kind of thinking. Your poll gave the limiting choices of ALL me, which I know I cannot afford to pay all my premiums, or ALL someone else.

You don't have ANY middle ground in there at all.
