The "entitlement" buzzword confuses me too. I pay my taxes and a portion of those taxes go towards things I'd define as "entitlements" - like clean drinking water, a functioning sewer system, roads, police, firemen, garbage collection, and about a dozen other things. Paying your taxes doesn't mean paying for your lazy no-good neighbour - it's putting money in the pot so that everyone benefits. It's societal living.
