I'm assuming you think people should have a "right" to live with their parents until 30 years of age too? People should work hard to achieve a living wage, safe housing, healthcare and nutritious food. The USA is the greatest nation in the world and unless you are physically or emotionally disabled there are NO excuses for not succeeding in this country. You seem to forget that government has no money except for the money it TAKES from its citizens at the point of a gun. Why should any hard-working man or woman be expected to give up their wages to unmotivated individuals that refuse to support themselves? That mentality is absolutely ridiculous and creates nothing but misery. NOBODY has the RIGHT to steal from others, NOBODY. The good news is that YOU have the ability to give away YOUR personal resources to anybody you wish.

I'd like to see a voucher system so parents can send their children to any school of their choice. Education would improve exponentially because competition always improves anything it touches. I'm guessing drag queens in schools would disappear quickly as well.

I'm pretty much on board with all of it...as long as it doesn't create people that choose to abuse the system and do nothing so they can be taken care of by big daddy gov...which is actually the taxpayers (you and I)

Admirable but $100 is ridiculous

I think this is a rule, isn't it?

These "rights" already exist. No one is stopping anyone from having any of these
