Television star Alyssa Milano, known for her left-wing activism, has faced criticism for launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $10,000 for her son’s baseball team trip to Cooperstown, New York. Many found it hypocritical for a multimillionaire celebrity to ask for crowdfunding for a childhood luxury. Milano, who is reportedly worth $10 million, defended herself by stating that she has paid for team uniforms and sponsored kids who can’t afford dues. However, the incident highlights the growing trend of people seeking others to pay for their personal expenses. This entitlement mentality is seen not only in crowdfunding campaigns but also in demands for government assistance and debt forgiveness. The article argues that this expectation that someone else will foot the bill is leading to a culture of delusions of grandeur and mounting debt.
It’s not just Alyssa Milano who should stop expecting strangers to pay for everything.
