Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men “are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Here in America, we’re in the midst of an intense, but quite healthy, debate over health care reform. Part of the debate is whether access to health care is one of those inherent rights.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich released a statement last month where he said, “I believe health care is a civil right.”
But if you think the health care debate is explosive, imagine a Congressperson trying to sell what Antonio Tajani is pushing.
Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry, said, “Traveling for tourism today is a right.”
The leadership in Brussels agrees. If you’re retired, young, or too poor to afford it yourself, you should have your travel subsidized by the government.
I think Glenn Beck’s head just exploded.
