Conservatives often talk about the sense of entitlement that class warfare rhetoric and big government policies creates in people growing up in such a system. I have never seen a more apt example of this mindset than Amanda Clayton:

A young woman who won $1m on a state lottery has sparked outrage after she admitted to still claiming benefits.

Amanda Clayton of Lincoln Park, Michigan still claims $200 a month in food stamps and despite paying cash for a new home and car said, ‘I’m still struggling.’

The 24-year-old added that she is entitled to the welfare handout as she has two homes to run.

‘I feel that it’s okay because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay,’ she said. ‘I have two houses.’

Clayton won the $1 million in October after paying $10 for a series of tickets in the Michigan State Lottery.

The local news followed her around filming her “struggle”

Local 4 tracked Clayton down to her Lincoln Park home where cameras spotted her and a U-Haul truck, getting ready to move into a new house—that she paid for in cash—now that she has struck it rich. She also bought a new car.

These purchases are nothing out of the ordinary for someone who just won the lottery, however hidden cameras followed Clayton grocery shopping, where she admitted she uses a Bridge card to pay for her items. She said she gets $200 each month, from taxpayers, to foot her food bill.

Why should she have to buy her own food? That would mean having to dip into her new car and house money! That would be unfair! The news has video if you want to watch her actually say these things.

How different is this than Sandra Fluke’s demand we pay for her birth control while she attends law school? As shocked and dismayed as people are at Amanda Clayton she is simply living life as liberals told her she should. She isn’t doing anything Sandra Fluke, OWS or any other liberal isn’t advocating we all do.

Which is why America is collapsing.
