“The
enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” - 9th Ammendment
We
have a right to healthcare. We have a right to a working wage. We have a
right to be accepted for who we are. I may as well say I have a
right to eat, to breath, to sing my favorite song; but I have no
right to force another person to do or provide it for me.
The
only rights you have are the rights you exercise yourself. The moment
you permit the government to do for you what you should do for
yourself, both you and the unduly burdened taxpayer become subjects
(read: slaves) of the state. Excessive taxes are the moral equivalent
of slavery. In old times masters and conquerors required hefty
tributes and taxes from subjects under pain of violence or
extinction. This was and is a form of slavery.
