Human Rats

Walter Williams addresses the latest ravings from the Left about free medical care being a human right.

As human beings, we all have certain natural rights. Of the rights we possess, we have a right to delegate them to government. For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators. Because we possess that right, we can delegate it to government. By contrast, I do not have a right to take one person's earnings to give to another. Because I have no such right, I cannot delegate it to government. If I did take your earnings to provide medical services for another, it would rightfully be described and condemned as an act of theft. When government does the same, it's still theft, albeit legalized theft.


The idea that medical care is a "human right" is rooted in the bankrupt concept that all human life has inherent value. That's hogwash. People only have value relative to what they contribute to the advancement of human civilization. Someone who sits on their ass, survives by taking from others and pays no taxes is simply a gene pool contaminant. Like all parasites, they should be actively and aggressively exterminated.

rc, not sure if you opened the full article, but Walt is an 80 year old Black guy that lived under far more discrimination than the overly sensitive made up BS racism being shoved at us today by the media. Read his wiki, we are talking about a man that dealt with it, fought it, and still became very successful, at least by many peoples standards, and came out on top regarding wisdom and class (as in classiness). That's my view of him after reading a fair number of his thoughts on things.

For the vast majority of parasitic humans, no matter what demographic, they choose to be parasites, but wrap it in excuses in order to rationalize their failure to themselves. I think Walt is walking proof that a person can succeed if they choose too. At 80, I figure he's not walking as fast these days.

Vizigoth, I'm fully aware of who Walter Williams is. I'm a tremendous fan. Jeff will vouch for me. That said, the simple truths that WW puts forth are often construed by the victim class as racist.... even though they are espoused by a black man...
