[quote=Anonymous]Here's a quote from the article:
[quote]Bill Clinton has a pithier formulation: “[b]If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll have the freedom and opportunity to pursue your own dreams[/b].” That’s entitlement. “Responsible” Americans should be able to attain realistic ambitions.[/quote]

This article refers to the idea of [b]all[/b] people being entitled to equal opportunity as long as they are willing to work hard. No reference to being entitled through race or class, but instead being entitled by the willingness to "work hard and play by the rules," in other words, the idea that anyone can succeed, no matter what their background. In this definition, [b]all[/b] can succeed, whether native-born or immigrant, rich or poor, or of any color.

Samuelson goes on to delineate obstacles to this ideal in today's world and his sense of what the future can hold. In his view, the end of entitlement, or endless opportunity for all, is a bad thing, not a positive by any means.
