Entitlement mentality

[Indy Texas 🇺🇦🇵🇸]

having a right to life implies having a right to (at the very least) food, shelter, and healthcare.

It means you have a right to not be killed. Being unable to survive due to exposure to the elements, starvation, etc, is not being murdered by another individual

i see you've never heard of the concept of neglect. passive infringement on an individual's right to life is just as wrong as active infringement.

Neglect implies that one man is anothers keeper, which is simply not true.

if the government has the ability to stop people from starving to death and actively chooses not to do so, that is indeed neglect.

what you're implying is that a government has no responsibility to care for its citisens, but i suppose that shouldn't be surprising coming from a libertarian.

I actually would support government run, Canadian style health care if it can be funded with a national sales tax, and that would not treat illegal immigrants accept in serious emergencies. I'm not talking about the government, however. I'm talking individual to individual. Does an individual have the moral duty to help one of his fellow human beings, with or without government force involved? I say no.

Elizabeth Warren had a point, to a limited degree. If you want to use the roads in America, you should pay taxes. Just like if I wanted a hamburger from Five Guys, I pay the price to get it. Taxes are more or less a business transaction. How the money collected by the state is spent is no more different than a corporation that expands as it gains more and more profit.

A “right to life” means to live, but neglect by forces outside the government is not murder in the slightest, as my initial post stated.

What you propose is totally illogical, since if it's funded by a sales tax, illegal immigrants would be funding it the same as legal immigrants and citizens would be.
