Default There is no "right" to food, shelter, clothing, health care

obligation to provide food, shelter, clothing or health care - or any
good or service - to others, unless he voluntarily assumes that
obligation. It is unethical for anyone to use the police power of the
state to seize value from me in order to obtain things the parasite
wants out of life.

The only legitimate universal rights are negative rights. There are no
positive rights. You *cannot* have a right to goods and services, as
that would impose an obligation on others involuntarily to provide value
to you, and you cannot have a right to that.


Parents have the obligation to plan their offspring and pay to
feed/clothe/educate them.
Conversely, we all have the right to a proper upbringing.

If you can't do the time, keep it in your pants.
