Oh, my. So much partisan fail all wrapped into a big ball of talking points. Where to begin?
You claim that the right believes that our own mediocre lot in life is someone else's fault,
It's not so much a "claim" as an empirical observation. Simply look at typical right wing chatter. High taxes are the reason they're not rich; it has nothing to do with their own mediocrity and poor choices. Their blissful ignorance has been threatened by the "liberal" media, not by reality, science, and other inconvenient facts. Their prosperous, white bread,
Father Knows Best 50's utopia has been destroyed by blacks, Mexicans, single moms, intellectuals, and unions, not because they sat in front of their TVs swilling beer while the wealthy elite they worship outsourced America's good middle class jobs and our manufacturing core.
Their marriages have been destroyed by gays, their government by welfare queens (but only poor queens, not the rich queens and companies that bribe their way to the government trough), and their religion by atheists (War! On! Christmas! Booyah!!!!!). And oh my God, the libruls! Those damned libruls! are responsible for all of the above, and everything else that's wrong in their world. It's never their own failures, they are victims. Woe is us.
Lulz!
yet it is always the left demanding that someone else pay for its health care, day care, college, birth control, yada yada yada.
Two points. First, it seems to me the left is more focused on ensuring
others have ready access to those things rather than themselves, though certainly the two sets intersect somewhat. Second, explain how this is different from the right demanding that someone else pay for their military and their wars (including their War on Terror bogeyman), and of course, "you keep your filthy government hands off my Social Security"? People on both ends of spectrum love government spending ... as long as it's on their pet sinkholes.
It is always the left complaining that "the man" is holding them down, that big corporations are unfairly victimizing them, that racism and sexism and ageism and idiotism combine to prevent them from getting a fair shot, that success is merely who you know and what station to which you are born. It is always the left complaining that no one deserves what CXOs make and that they are therefore entitled to it.
Wow. That's quite a jumbled mish-mash of straw men, overstatements, and general nonsense. There are also parts that are unarguably true. There is ample statistical evidence that corporations (meaning their majority owners and top executives) have gained substantial wealth due to increased worker productivity while passing essentially none of those gains to their workers. Only the most fawning corporate shills will insist that American CxOs deserve to be paid so dramatically more than their peers in other 1st world countries. And, are you really so naive that you don't think personal connections pay a significant role in one's success? If so, you are a perfect example of the brainwashed drones the elite use to keep the system tilted to their fortune.
It is always the left claiming it is entitled. Always.
Irony. It is the right who "always" insist they are entitled to all of the fabulous benefits of living and succeeding in America while not having to pay for it. They have become the poster children for self-entitled greed and social irresponsibility.
That word obviously does not mean what you think it means.
Get 'em clue, Kee-Mo Sah-Bee.
Sage advice. You should try it sometime.
