A little sermon from the "greed is good" church.
Not that I dislike Ringer, but his moralizing won't work. Of all people, he should know better than this:
It’s painful to break this to you, Ann, but the Constitution doesn’t grant any rights to anyone. The primary purpose of the Constitution is to protect the natural rights of all citizens — specifically referred to in the Declaration of Independence as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you don’t possess the right to not buy something, the corollary is that the government can force you to buy anything. [comment: emphasis mine]
Comment:
Dear, dear, dear. Nobody gives a flying fig about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence anymore, got that? If you can make the rich pay "their fair share" and win on that, who cares who's rights get violated in the process? As long as number one gets taken care of, none of that matters one whit.
