Despite popular belief, the right to free health care, free child care, a free college education, and a $50,000 a year income are not the God-given inalienable rights the Constitution outlines. Quite the contrary-we all have the same basic human rights regardless of what our morals and ethics are. These are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How have we strayed so far from the principles this country was founded upon?
