If one can simply make up any rights someone feels like having, even when they contradict fundamental rights (see my earlier post), I don't think they can be considered "real".
If you believe in equal rights (i.e., nobody is king of the universe) then you can't support the infringing of some people's rights for the benefit of others.
- gort 17y agoIsn't taxation precisely that? I mean, if the government coming and taking some portion of your stuff isn't an infringement of your negative rights, what is? Yet I'm all for tax, if it pays for necessary stuff.
- johnnybgoode 17y agoAssuming you didn't agree to it, it sure is. But it's possible to want the necessary stuff without favoring a tax.
