 Whether you are talking about natural rights or rights established by government, the positive rights you want entail violations of the negative rights I'm advocating.You can't establish a universal right to health care without paying for it. You can't pay for it without taxing people with substantial incomes. In other words, you have to take part of what some people have, against their will, and use it to provide goods and services for others. It's coercion, pure and simple. You describe it as helping the needy. Perhaps it is, but it is also exploiting those who are not needy. |
