Well, I agree. The “poor” do have a “right” to OWN a cell phone! But, along with that is the RESPONSIBILITY to pay their own bill. The entitlement attitude needs to die a painful death, and now.

NNOOOOOOO!

When Jefferson penned the Dec. of Ind., he changed Locke's "Life, Liberty, and Property" to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness."

There IS NO RIGHT TO PROPERTY.

What you have a "right" to, the government is bound to take steps to ensure you have, or to ensure is protected.

So the "right" to ANY kind of property requires the government to provide it, if you don't have it.

I disagree. I have the RIGHT to PURSUE ownership of property. Ownership requires the ability to be able to afford the purchase, and the responsibility to pay for any charges resulting from said purchase. What people do NOT have a right to is the public paying for my RIGHT to PURSUE ownership.
