May 03, 2005 In the classic film Sunset Boulevard, aging silent movie star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) is fixated on a return to stardom. Firm in her delusions that her fans miss her and that Paramount Studios still revolves around her popularity, she sees cameras called to report a murder as being present to film her in a comeback role she's written for herself.

And guess what. You are going to pay them again, a second time, with interest added. You are going to repay the same taxes that you already paid once before but they stole and spent elsewhere. Dedicated money that was spent somewhere other than for the reason it was collected. And their own laws say that this money cannot be spent on other things. The very definition of an entitlement is: you paid for it and you are “entitled” to the goods or services for which you paid. (Read the rest here)
