Ok, I am in favor of cutting these "entitlements":
(1) Farm subsidies
(2) Subsidies to oil companies
(3) Defense spending, which is essentially an entitlement to defense contractors
(4) Free money from the fed to banks which they turn around and invest in government bonds that the taxpayer pays interest on
(5) Tax exempt status for churches and religious organizations
(6) The 15 percent capital gains tax rate which effectively subsidizes the tax bill owed by the rich
(7) The entitlement of countries like China, Korea, and Mexico to continue to siphon off American jobs with unfair trade policies.
