Just because I desire more money does not give me a right to it.

Rights = Responsibility

Desire = creation

We have a Responsibility to create our desires. We have the Right to create our desires.

Desires become rights when you add power.

Rights are what government leaves for you to figure out for yourself, not what it agrees to take from others on your behalf. This is lost on OWSers.

answer - rights are endowed by our creator - not doled out by government to the biggest voting block.
