I have listened to a conservative whine about the welfare the lazy minorities get in one breath, and in the next talk about the government assistance his autistic kid gets as not being nearly enough... while bragging about ways he gets a break on his taxes by exploiting various loopholes....

Conservatives sure as hell believe they are owed a lot- that's why they want to 'take THEIR country back', it just the "others" they feel deserve less than nothing...
