>Bill, I know a 27 year old who makes about 35K....lives at home with parents who make six figures, pays no rent or food...and gets subsidies.

So do I.
In fact, I raised a couple like that.
They were slow to get out into the world, so they stayed home and mooched off mom and dad for a while after college.
Subsidies? Hell- they got a completely free ride!
Both finally got out, made tons of money on their own, and went on to have terrific lives.
They're now supporting their own moochers, despite their "entitlement" mentalities.

How were mom and dad able to do that?
Well, dad was a moocher himself. He went thru college on the GI bill, supported in part by a widowed mother (another moocher - one of Reagan's "Welfare Queens") who had been on welfare for a while herself till she got on her feet and worked at least 2 jobs most of her life.

So, yes, I know a lot moochers like the one you mentioned.
