Dear Broke Reader and your sense of entitlement (Part 2)

book by Ricardo Vasquez/freeimages.com

So, a funny thing happened earlier this week. Someone on Facebook wrote a post asking for links to pirate sites–and then defended her actions by claiming to be poor.

The perpetrator herself shut down the censure of others, blocking them, calling them names, and then making fun of the people who dared t...
