And what the hell are "economic rights" anyway?

It's in the addendum to the Bill of Rights. It guarantees the right of slugs who won't get an education and won't work to pick the pockets of people who will do those things. I think it's called the Welfare Amendment, but no one seems to remember it being ratified by the people.

*snicker*

Actually, someone covered all that in the Bill of No Rights, as follows:

ARTICLE I -- You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any form of wealth.

More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE IV -- You do not have the right to free food and housing.

Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generations of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE VII -- You do not have the right to the possessions of others.

If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen TV or a life of leisure.

Guess these yahoos (Jackson, et al.) never heard of the above. :)
