Um, no. I'm getting a bit sick of this attitude of entitlement floating around the USA, and keep in mind I work in the field of social services.
Though I'm in 100% agreement with you about American's sense of entitlement, as a gov't employee, you're the wrong person to be talking about it - the hypocrisy is almost painful to witness.
Apples vs. oranges. The contexts are entirely different (I.e demanding what is owed according to defined rules vs. demanding nothing that is owed in the absence of defined rules).
