I hope you people take this in and really think about what he just said.... Its important for people who demand health care as a right.

If all candidates were like Rand Paul there would be no bad choices.

@thefredsays My channel video contains the context on what I mean by “Laws of Nature.” Also, the term “Laws of Nature,” is best defined by Wikipedia’s overview of “Physical Law.”

[thefredsays]

@Mike10four depends on whose laws of nature you are talking about. there are catholic natural laws, islamic natural laws. To call a law "natural" makes it seem as if we were born knowing it.

@356pla usually a measurement of confortability is found in the federal poverty level. In the case of employment by a corporate entity no one's table is being squeezed for food since those who have money to invest- have extra money they essentially don't "need" and are free to speculate and raise hell with it by investing in a corporate enterprise.

In the case of a mom and pop store- there aren't many of those out there.

@thefredsays And who decides what comprises comfortable? It would be a subjective evaluation so open to dispute. Those who are to provide this value are bound to say.." That's enough for him to be comfortable. That's enough that he can save some if he's careful and doesn't insist on a right to meat more than three times a week."

The guy being squeezed for another dollar from his childs table, for your childs table, is gonna have a different idea as to what constitute 'comfortable.'

[thefredsays]

@356pla just compensation would be a confortable livable wage in which the wage laborer can actually have a savings account and is therefore allowed to accumulate enough capital to start a business of his or her own. i.e. not living paycheck to paycheck. The wage slave has no means of escaping this condition, limits his/her class mobility and results in production potential lost.

[356pla]

@thefredsays Please define "just compensation"

Forced by whom? Forced labour is a crime in civilized places.

How do you delimit what you consider as "wage slavery"?

[thefredsays]

@356pla not when the laborer is forced to participate in the contract because he/she does lacks the capital or the collective bargaining rights to gain just compensation for labor in order to avoid wage slavery.

[356pla]

@thefredsays You sem confused. The right to the labour of another can be aquired either through contract with that person or through enslaving him. Only the first is capitalism.

[Mike10four]

Healthcare is not a right! The only Rights we have are: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. When these Rights are view through the prism of science, one will find they apply to all Life, from bacteria to humans, and Social systems, including Charles Darwin’s research; as in some Grand Unification principle for all Living-systems. Most understand the Laws of Nature trumps mortals in power; a new understanding of these Rights may help make this world a better place to live.

wtf, corporations claim ownership of the labour of their wage slaves... ALL THE TIME.
