Our “Rights”?


Where are these children getting their information on our “Rights”? I am pretty familiar with our founding documents—the Preamble, the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights; the only place where I find a listing of our rights. I find nowhere that we have a “right” to a college education. About 18% of us receive a baccalaureate. Generally speaking, this demographic is largely from middle to upper middle income group. Why would this 18% get the idea that they should receive special treatment to a free college education? Where is it written; in our founding documents or anywhere for that matter? It is not even in the Magna Carta. Our Founders were quite familiar with that document. Where do these mindless nymphs find that healthcare is a right? Where is that written, anywhere? The rights granted to us are Natural Rights, bestowed by our Creator. Healthcare is not “free” in any system of government, under any economic system. Either we pay for it individually or we pay the government to provide it through taxation. That seems to be a concept not understood by these upstarts. WE, YOU AND I, pay for it one way or the other. Proponents of a government managed healthcare system seem unable to understand that their idea of “free healthcare” simply adds an unnecessary middle man to administer healthcare, the federal government. Our founding documents provide Art 1 Sect 8, spelling out what our federal government can provide. Neither a college education nor healthcare is listed. Anything not on that list is left to the States and to the People. The rights we are provided are not commercial goods or services having a price tag. So, where do they get this nonsense? Now we have charlatans and snake oil salesmen selling this nonsense as candidates for public office, humoring these spoiled rotten children. Poppycock!
I simply cannot find written anywhere that we have a “right” to anything even remotely related to a “free” anything.
