A right can not enslave another human being.

A right can not impose another human being to serve you.

A right is the sovereignty to act without the permission of others.

A right must be exercised through your own initiative and action. It is not a claim on others.

A right is not actualized and implemented by the actions of others. This means you do not have the right to the time in another person’s life. You do not have a right to other people’s money.

A right is something that you can do on your own, such as free speech, but a right does not give you right to a microphone, a radio show or hosting a tv-show because of your free speech.

You can compare rights and privileges and you’ll fundamentally understand that many of your current rights are actually privileges based on the fact that other people has to involve their life to give it to you.

Right to healthcare, right to free public schools and right to student loans are in fact privileges that has been given to you on the basis that there is you and another taxpayer sharing the costs.

Many of our rights today are privileges that unfortunately all of us has to pay through taxes that seems to never decrease. Sometimes I wonder how they managed to create a taxation based on percentage, because one day it will break because of it’s unreasonable weight in increases.

That day might be tomorrow or maybe hundred years from now, what do you think?

People has been led to believe taxes are for the common good, that is has something to do with prosperity, growth and financial stability. I believe in the individual, that he or she can decide on her own what to do with their life and their money.

Governments can redefine rights to privileges under the banner of taking from the rich and redistribute it among the poor. When governments starts to play with the power of redistribution such as monetizing money whenever needed, then the people will finally find sanity and take down their governments.

I am thankful for my rights and I am thankful for my privileges, but I don’t want them for free with the catch of having to pay taxes for the rest of my life.
