Maybe we can discuss the idea of a 'right' as well in this thread.
To me, as a libertarian, a right is something that every human inherently has by virtue of their birth. You things like life, liberty, etc are the most important. In other words, I have a right to my life, simply because i'm alive.
This idea that you have a right to certain 'things' is completely different. Life and liberty are not things like a house and a job. You dont have a right to get things from someone else because you have to infringe upon their liberty to get it. Furthermore, the government gives out these things in most cases, and we all know the governments track record over the last 100 years. The point of the matter is that you dont have a right to stuff. Luckily we live in a system that (at least it was supposed to) ensure that most people had a chance to achieve these basic things.
