The Right to Life Tied to Property
Chester McAteer forwards this:
Tim adds:
Absolutely correct. The first property right is the right to own YOURSELF, meaning your life is yours and you own it. Hence you have a right to life. And if you own your own life you have a right to own other stuff, particularly that which you have made or trade what you have made to acquire Property rights and human rights are unseverable. I made this connection at American Thinker years ago. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2013/05/the_individual_as_property.html I also pointed out that property rights are the first right and from them spring all others. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2005/06/the_first_right.html There is no such thing as a free society without property rights. .
"If we assume that the individual has an indisputable right to life, we must concede that he has a similar right to the enjoyment of the products of his labor. This we call a property right. The absolute right to property follows from the original right to life because one without the other is meaningless; the means to life must be identified with life itself…We object to the taking of our property by organized society just as we do when a single unit of society commits the act…Robbery is robbery, and no amount of words can make it anything else."
