You are entitled to nothing - House of Cards

Immersive Language Reading on Twigit

good evening for too long we in
Washington have been lying to you we say
we're here to serve you when in fact
were serving ourselves and why we are
driven by our own desire to get
reelected our need to stay in power
eclipses our duty to govern that ends
tonight tonight I give you the truth and
the truth is this the American Dream has failed you
work hard play by the rules
you aren't guaranteed success your
children will not have a better life than you did
10 million of you can't even get a job
even though you desperately want one
we've been crippled by Social Security
Medicare Medicaid by welfare by
entitlements and that is the root of the
problem entitlements let me be clear you
were entitled to nothing you are
entitled to nothing America was built on
the spirit of Industry you build your future
it isn't handed to you and the
problem with Washington is that we haven't given you
the tools to build it
the only way for us to serve you is to
give you the means to serve yourselves
well that's exactly what I intend to do
not handouts jobs real paying jobs
in the next few weeks the Democratic
leadership will introduce a program called
America works its goal is simple to put
the 10 million Americans who are unemployed to work
all of them if you want a job you get one
the cost is five hundred billion dollars
now that's a lot of money to pay for it we'll need to
rethink Social Security health care and
benefits from the ground up we can't
maintain the welfare state as we know it
now that's not a popular thing to say
anyone running for office wouldn't dare out of those words
every advisor and consultant and staff member would beg a
presidential candidate not to say them
but I can say them because I will not be seeking
the Democratic nomination in 2016
candidates are cautious they must equivocate
they dodge and tiptoe but I'd
rather leave this office having
accomplished something of value than secure another four years
having done nothing at all
Franklin Delano Roosevelt offered in an era of hope and progress
when he proposed the New Deal and at the time
his reforms were considered radical but
he once said this country demands bold
persistent experimentation it is common sense to take a method and try it and if
it fails admit it frankly and try another
but above all try something
Roosevelt would have understood better than anyone the necessity for trying something different
the New Deal succeeded for many years but we must now try something newer
before it fails us if America work succeeds we will reinvent the American
dream if we fail in our attempt we will
admit it frankly and try another but above all we must try something
thank you and God bless the United States of
America
another
but above all try something Roosevelt
would have understood better than anyone
the necessity for trying something
different the New Deal succeeded for
many years but we must now try something
newer before it fails us if America work
succeeds we will reinvent the American
