Great piece by Sheldon Richman!
Envy, Ignorance, Barbarism Triumph in New York
"When the state forces other people to pay for what you want, that’s slavery. Mamdani and his ilk insist on the right to medical care, housing, education, “affordable” groceries, etc. But how can such rights exist? Each of those services must be provided by individuals. Don’t they have the right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness? If A has a right to B’s labor or the fruits thereof, then B must be A’s slave. I thought good people were against slavery. Did I miss the memo?"
