Of the following, which do you feel is a "right", i.e., a moral claim on something?
Health care.
Food.
Water.
Other people's wealth.
A job.
A minimum or "living" wage.
None of the above.
Other.
None of those things are rights. But I picked other, because something being a right does not mean others have to pay for it out of their own pocket or in some shape or form provide you with a means of exercising that right it just means the government can not stop you from getting those things assuming you have the ability to pay for those things. For example the government does not in any shape or form have to buy me a firearm with tax payer money in order to make sure I am able to properly exercise my 2nd amendment rights even though there is the right to keep and bear arms, if anyone wants a firearm then they have to go and pay for it themselves.A right just means the government can't stop you from doing it and has absolutely no business preventing you from exercising that right unless you are prison/jail.
