I was arguing with some idiot on reddit who was trying to tell me that free products and services are human rights, because people will LiTtERaLlY DiE without them, and therefore the government has to give them to you for free. Eventually this idiot's argument was "Ohh yeah, The right to privacy isn't in the constitution either, But it's still a real constitutional right".
This is why electing people and appointing judges who believe in a strict interpretation of the constitution is so important. It either says what it says, and it means what the original authors meant, or it means nothing.
You let idiots start reading between the lines and decide it means whatever they want, and next thing you know they are saying it guarantees them a free house, a free car, free utilities, free healthcare, and free money.
If they want a free house they should go check out the free house they get in CCP China. It’s smaller than a single wide, and in cold areas it’s not even fully heated inside. I’ve been to one.
Oh, and there’s no toilet either. Better get used to crapping in an outhouse.
And if they think they’re getting a free car then they’re nuts. They’ll get a free bus to ride, when it’s running, and they’ll have to pay for a train or taxi.
"Ohh my gosh... That's a totally different country. I never said I wanted a free house in China, I said America needs to give me a free house, you strawmanning racist!"
