Every morning, Susie Smith takes some bologna and bread she got at the local grocery store and makes herself two sandwiches to bring with her to her job. She then goes to the local gas station and fills up her environmentally friendly hybrid car with gas.
Susie then goes to work at the Birth Control Factory, helping to make millions of the tiny pills for America.
Susie does all this for free. She wouldn't think of asking to be paid to make these pills. After all, we live in a world "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
At least, that is the fairy tale the woman who confronted Mitt Romney yesterday in Illinois believes:
I mentioned this entitlement attitude in my Myth of Free Roads topic last week. And here we see it once again out here in the real world.
"Cable...er, the Pill should be free...like the roads!"

At least, that is the fairy tale the woman who confronted Mitt Romney yesterday in Illinois believes:
After Romney riffed for about 20 minutes on President Barack Obama’s management of the economy, he solicited questions from the large student-heavy audience.
As the first questioner made apparent, these voters were not pre-screened.
“So you’re all for like, yay, freedom, and all this stuff,” said the first woman to approach a microphone. “And yay, like pursuit of happiness. You know what would make me happy? Free birth control.”
I mentioned this entitlement attitude in my Myth of Free Roads topic last week. And here we see it once again out here in the real world.
Her remark drew a mix of applause and boos from the crowd, and a rebuke from the Republican frontrunner.
“You know, let me tell you, no no, look, look let me tell you something,” he said, waiting for the crowd noise died down. “If you’re looking for free stuff you don’t have to pay for? Vote for the other guy, that’s what he’s all about, okay? That’s not, that’s not what I’m about.”
