Exactly. The rights laid out in the American Experiment are largely, for the most part, rights that don’t require someone else to perform. The right of free speech or self defense or freedom to assemble or worship etc. Some are just rights inherent to being human.

Leftists are clever. They will talk about “human rights” but what they don’t talk about is the sleight-of-hand going on here - Individual rights. In the leftist weltanschaung one is nothing unless part of a group, a “victimized” group. They also talk about minority rights, but again there is no greater minority than a single individual.

A “right” to health care sounds good. But it does require someone else to provide that. It requires money. It requires someone to allocate resources, as they are not infinite.

Price controls do not work. Whether minimum wage, subsidized fuel, doesn’t matter. While the alternative is not perfect, the leftist philosophy ever and always leaves complete destruction in its wake while enriching a small band of advocates and strongmen.

As has been said “You can vote Socialism in, but you have to shoot your way out.” Very sad.
