"Entitlement" quid pro quo – from the state & to the state

[jody]

I read all the threads for the past year with the word "entitlement" and they seemed to deal exclusively with “entitlements” to the individual from the state.

The issue is not one sided however and the state has certain "entitlements" from individuals who claim "entitlements" from the state, a what for what or Quid pro quo arrangement.

Please post your understanding of what the state is entitled to from the individual.
