"Self-entitled monsters"

"In California, before the economy fell apart, the top one percent of taxpayers paid fifty percent of the taxes that came in here in California.  That is one percent paying for fifty percent.  Not good enough?  Not good enough.  I understand some people have more than others; that's always going to be there and . . .we started off this evening talking about the auto show and about how the crazy competition just led to the crazy, crazy cars and I know sometimes it goes astray but for the most part it's the best system we have and trying to get the top one percent to pay in for the bottom fifty-five percent, that's not the angle to chose; the angle's to worry about what the f@*! the other fifty percent are doing, not what the top, who are already paying way more than their fair share, is doing."

More from comedian, Adam Carolla's rant on the Occupy Generation:

"You should feel good about yourself because of your accomplishments, not because somebody yelled at you to feel good about yourself and you got a _____ fake piece of plastic that was sprayed gold and had your name on a plaque on the bottom of it."

Listen here.  In his very crude and meandering way, Carolla is on to something big.  We have created "self-entitled" monsters.  Let's stop.

Warning: Very strong language.
