This reminds me of the time a reporter went out to a tea party rally and interviewed people as they were leaving.

All of these people were for cutting every government entitlement possible. When asked, a large portion of the people interviewed were on some kind of entitlement program (Medicaid, veterans benefits, OAS).

The vast majority of these people didn’t believe this money was a handout and had no problem receiving it.  They were however against others (that don’t look like them) getting it.
