My rules are based upon the ethics of self-determination and freedom.

Yada-yada-yada- if someone were to walk into your home today and decide that they had the freedom to partake of your property, you wouldn't hesistate for a minute to call out the hired guns. Where would your commitment to freedom and self determination be at that point? Property is a fiction created to support and encourage a capitalistic system; but, should that system fail, you have no more substantial a claim to that property then a worker has for a job. Those who forget that will usually live to regret it.

Since all you seem to do in forming a response is leap to a reductio ad absurdam, it is pointless to discuss this further with you. If you grow up, write back.

Unless you lived in the old USSR, or some other place with the same rules, no worker has EVER been guaranteed a job. No person, not even slaves, was ever guaranteed a job for life in this country.

Until recent history ( and I do mean rather recent history !), those who worked in some form of manufacturing, were laid off at the will of the owner. Get mangled in a machine? TOUGH LUCK...you were fired and no, you didn't get any severance pay nor medical benefits. Go out on strike? You would get shot/fired on and absolutely have no job to go back to! New immigrant waves? Hold on to you hat, whoa Nellie...you were OUT ON YOUR EAR, because the new immigrants would work for less! Outsourcing? That isn't "new" either!

And owning your own home, was, until very recently, something only that most could only dream of.
