This is what happens when people have rights “to” things. A right to health care = free, substandard health care at the expense of those who produce. A right to housing = free, substandard housing at the expense of property owners (they stll “own” it they just can’t use it to make a living though they still have an obligation to maintain it). A right to education = unending schooling that produces mostly illiterates and ignoramuses at the expense of those who taught themselves to produce tangible goods and useful services. And so on ad nauseum.

“This is what happens when people have rights “to” things.”

Just to divert the thread a little, this is a warning to those who would like to convene a Constitutional Convention supposedly to deal with a single issue. Once convened, the convnention would be mobbed by the left like Madison WI and you would get all kinds of new “rights” added.
