“They say, ‘Wall Street “fat cats” got a bailout, so now I want one too,’ and the correct answer is, ‘No one is entitled to a bailout,’ ” she said. “The American dream, our foundation, is about work ethic and empowerment, not entitlement.”

They need to hop on a bus and travel south — 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where there’s plenty of space to occupy.”
