[quote=pertinazzio]anything that costs money can’t be a right.[/quote]
I would add to this “anything that costs money or takes someone’s time can’t be a right.”
For example – I don’t have the right to a daily massage, which costs the masseuse no money.
People just don’t seem to understand this basic concept – that as soon as you say “everyone has a right to x” that you are actually taking away inalienable rights from the whole of society. Providing health care to all is, in effect, unconstitutional, as I see it.
Providing health care to all is a lovely thought, and surely done with good intent, but also done out of ignorance and at the expense of freedom.
People misunderstand free markets for this exact reason. Free markets are not unregulated markets where everyone is free to do whatever they want.
Free markets are markets where you are free from others infringing on your property rights and personal freedom.
