Newfoundlanders and Sense of Entitlement

I'm just listening to Newfoundland Back Talk with Paddy Daly and maybe it's just these particular callers, but it seems like everyone has a major sense of entitlement. However, I don't necessarily blame the people, I blame the system. We have become far too reliant on the government for everything. People have willingly given away their freedom to government programs and schemes in order to have a parental figure "take care of them".

There are so many callers on this show demanding the government give them more entitlements, more payouts, higher wages, etc. They want the government to use its power of coercion to increase taxes in order to pay for all these perks. The government needs to get out of all this wealth redistribution and destruction.
