Presidential candidate Tom Steer’s “five rights” are: the right to an “equal vote”; the right to clean air and clean water; the right “to learn”; the right to a “living wage”; and the right to “health.”
The question for Tom is: Who Provides Those Rights? The traditional answers to the basis of Rights fall into three categories: (1) Rights are moral laws specifying what a person should be free to do, and they come from God. (2) Rights are political laws specifying what a person is free to do, and they are created by governments. (3) Rights are moral laws specifying what a person should be free to do, and they are inherent in man’s nature. But each of these theories is demonstrably false, and a person or society attempting to defend freedom on such grounds will ultimately fail—as Americans are failing today.”
