    back in locke's day you could also go out, find unoccupied land, build on it, farm it, and defend yourself using deadly force if someone came harm you or to try to take your land. You cant do that anywhere now. If you went out onto unoccupied land claimed by the beaureau of land management, built a home out there and started to farm youd be arrested and brought up on federal charges. youre also required to hook up to the electrical grid even if you have the means to be independent of it. American farms also take massive subsidies from taxpayer money, so theyre not working for free, theyre using your money for it.

      Back in lockes day you had a king who claimed ownership over all the land and would tax you for farming on it and his system is actually compatible with that type of government as long as the king has the tacit consent of the governed
      From Locke the opening to second treatise
      thou hast here … a discourse which, I hope… [is] sufficient to establish the Throne of our Great Restorer, Our present King William; to make good his title, in the consent of the people, which being the only one of all lawful government, he has more fully and clearly than any prince in Christendom: and to justify to the world, the people of England, whose love of their just and natural rights, with their resolution to preserve them, saved the nation when it was on the brink of ruin.

      Prepubescent children excepted in that they can impose their right to life on and over the rights of the two people who gave them their DNA. This they can do until they are no longer classified as young children. Basically, until puberty, at which point they should have developed the skills and knowledge to exercise their own rights without aid. Parents still have a lifelong obligation to their children, but the children's rights no longer supersede the parents' rights once the children have the capacity to exercise those rights on their own. If the parents are unable to enforce their child's rights for them, they owe it to the child to find them someone who is willing to enforce those rights. To neglect a person who is physically incapable of exercising their own right to life is to actively take away their right to life. Anyone who has taken on the care of such a person, whether by birthing them or by becoming their guardian, obligates themselves to put aside their own rights in order to uphold the right to life of the other person. This is why it's considered obligatory for parents to be the ones most willing to lay down their lives to save their children.

      Saying it's not causing a problem is like these polls that come out of Cuba that say people like their healthcare- yeah, compared to what?

      In any case this isn't about helping which is charity- it's about FORCED redistribution which is stealing people's labour. Most people aren't productive because of complex issues in their lives and government beauocracy throwing money at them is liable to just result in dependency- sometimes for generations. Actually helping those people doesn't come down to just advocating for most state spending- it would require actual effort but people don't want to do that. They just wan to attack to productive, pat themselves on the back, and call it a day.

    I see this argument brought up by the right when discussing universal healthcare. Although by definition of a "natural right" under libertarian principle healthcare is not a "right", it still benefits society to provide universal healthcare (i.e it should be a necessary government service). Regardless of what you call it, universal healthcare saves lives and prevents people from becoming bankrupt through emergency illness not of their fault. imagine you are diagnosed with cancer and cant afford a life-saving surgery. I think the right thing to do for society is to pay for that persons surgery from universal healthcare. When you think about it, healthcare actually pays back society because that injured/sick patient can now return to work faster then if he/she died or went bankrupt from medical bills. Almost every european country has single payer or government provided health insurance, it saves lives and increases their status on the human development index. What John Locke said nearly 300 years ago should not completely dictate the policies we create today.

    • @PhucMi1
      @PhucMi1 3 месяца назад

      Its actually no different from how we fund the military, police, fire department and roads. These services protect our "natural rights" of freedom of speech and right to life. Although you cant just go up to a random person and force him to be a cop, that is not how public services work. We, as a society, has collectively decided that it is fair that our taxes pay for these services to protect everyones "natural rights". Wouldnt it make sense for society to pay for someone's expensive life-saving surgery if they cant afford it (its not extortion, when you get sick everyone else will pay for you, hence why its a public service).

      @@PhucMi1 I live in Canada, my dude. Our universal basic healthcare is not benefiting us.
      It costs the tax payers so much to maintain the system that our taxes alone account for more taken out of our earnings than rent, bills and food *combined.*
      And despite this, we still had to implemented government sanctioned euthanasia to keep costs down.
      Life saving surgery may not bankrupt us, but thanks to the health care industry being so heavily regulated, *you will have zero access to that surgery owing to shortages on labor and materials.*
      Most Canadians go to America for their surgery and pay of it out of pocket via insurance just like you Americans do right now.
      We just have to pay taxes *on top* of that expense.
      So no, it doesn't pay society back. It costs society and prevents the industry from growing.
      Now setting aside the rampant calls for military and police to be de-funded by government funded health care enthusiasts such as yourself, the difference in terms of labor, material and specialization across civil protection and health care really do not make them comparable. The complications required for open heart surgery (not to mention the frequency with which it is needed) do not correlate to the duties of law enforcement.
      And if you are of sound health, you're not going to need a doctor nearly as often as you might a regulated police force (which you only have because you Americans refuse to accept that 2A was intended to *prevent* a government's necessary monopoly on violence).
      And once upon a time, you effectively *did* force the citizenry into a law enforcement role through the act of the local sheriff *deputizing* members of the militia to help him render law. A practice that, while rare, still happens to this very day.
      Beyond even that, private firefighting companies exist all over America and Canada and are hired by the government as contractors just like they are by the general public.
      But here's a question for you-
      If work hard to maintain a healthy body weight, avoid unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking and use of recreational, toxic and addictive drugs, wash my hands and brush my teeth, *what logic dictates that my taxes paying for the unhealthy habits of a 300lbs is consider "fair?"*
      Why should I have to pay for the consequences of someone else's drinking habits?
      See, an out of control fire could easily end my life. So it makes sense to fund a firefighting force to protect the community in which I reside.
      But the health of a stranger? On the other side of the country? Who may very well hate my guts cause I vote PPC and they vote NDP?
      Why should I be footing their medical bills?

      Covetousness and the desire to having in our possession and our dominion more than we have need of, being the root of all evil, should be early and carefully weeded out and the contrary quality of being ready to impart to others inculcated. (G&T 1996: 81)

      Prerogative is the right of the executive to act without explicit authorization for a law, or even contrary to the law, in order to better fulfill the laws that seek the preservation of human life.
