16... Haveanattitudean entitlementimus

Family:

LOSERIUM

Genus:

Haveanattitudean

Species:

entitlementimus

Common Name:

liberal

Subcategories:

Welfarean recipientimus: Never attempts to better itself, even though very-much capable of doing so.

Universalhealthcarean recipientimus: Has every videogame known to exist, not to mention a large flat-screen plasma television with a premium cable package; yet still it somehow can’t afford to pay its own health insurance.

Probably Evolved From:

Too many governmental entitlement programs that seemingly build upon themselves, leaving dependent citizens and offspring which lack incentive. Haveanattitudean entitlementimus, when not busy painting graffiti on something, uses a large portion of its time blaming “the system” or “the man” for keeping it down.

Close Affiliations:

Cornrowian tightweavamus, Uncleanium dreadlocksimus, Pantus ondagroudamus

Don’t Confuse With:

Charitable contributions handed-out to those actually in need, despite putting forth an effort based upon their capabilities.

Preferred Everyday Activity:

Depends… Can be anything from a welfare recipient loading its cart at the supermarket with numerous prime-cut steaks to one that has nothing better to do than to sit on the front porch and watch the day pass by.

Approachability:

Usually very approachable and civil, although it can sometimes be simple-minded.

Ultimate Life’s Potential:

None… When totally dependent on society and fully-capable of not being so, there is no potential other than reproducing and further draining the system.

Reality:

Will often have nearly 100 offspring in only three generations, with only a small percentage of these descendants breaking out of the mold of dependency.

How to Avoid Becoming One:

Here’s a novel idea: If you’re capable of getting an education and/or of working (or perhaps both?), do so without first looking for a handout. This is not to say that you shouldn’t ask for assistance of some sort. There are plenty of avenues to take to gain assistance with tuition and bills while acquiring an education. Take advantage of them. Don’t be content by living off the hard-work of tax-paying citizens.
