New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie said America is “turning into a
paternalistic entitlement society” where the federal government is
telling individuals to “stop dreaming” and “stop striving,” a message
Christie claimed is leading to “a bunch of people sitting on a couch
waiting for their next government check.”
“I’ve never seen a less optimistic time in my lifetime in this country
and people wonder why. I think it’s really simple. It’s because
government’s now telling them ‘stop dreaming,’ ‘stop striving and we’ll
take care of you,’” Christie said in a speech before the New York
Historical Society on Tuesday.
“We are turning into a paternalistic entitlement society that will not
just bankrupt us financially, it will bankrupt us morally because when
the American people no longer believe that this is a place where only
their willingness to work hard and act with honor and integrity and
ingenuity determines their success in life then we’ll have a bunch of
people sitting on a couch waiting for their next government check.
