New Jersey Gov. Chris Chistie on Tuesday said the U.S. is becoming a “paternalistic entitlement society” with “people sitting on a couch waiting for their next government check.”
The New Jersey Star-Ledger reports:
“It’s because government’s now telling them, stop dreaming, stop striving, we’ll take care of you. We’re turning into a paternalistic entitlement society. That will not just bankrupt us financially, it will bankrupt us morally,” Christie told Bush, Henry Kissinger and an assortment of Republican governors in a theater at the New York Historical Society.
