So how can food, housing, and medical care be a “human right”? If I demand a “right” to my doctor’s services – though I cannot pay him – am I not demanding that he give to ME the fruits of his labor? I don’t care what a paper document may “declare” about human rights — claiming tangible goods and other people’s time as a right is fallacious.
