The wealthy everywhere just laughed.

They can laugh all they want to. They're still paying whether they like it or not. So who cares?

So they are paying their fair share, got it.

Yes.

See there? That is just your opinion. There are billions of other folks that disagree.

The idea of "positive rights," haven't been around all that long. . . and honestly, just exist in theory as an excuse for government to dominate the liberties of the people.

Negative and positive rights - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

So who decides which is correct? There is no correct answer, just opinions.

(Though natural law informs us, that regardless of what the governments of men do, the creator has endowed us all with negative rights.)

Thus, your whole notion of something, "universal," for this argument? Is complete and total nonsense.


This is why there won't be any globalism.

False dichotomy.

The existence of one automatically implies the other.

If a person has a "negative right" to not be murdered, then this mandates that they have a "positive right" to have the law protect them from being murdered, such as by trying, convicting, and imprisoning someone who tries to murder them.

The nonsense is in your outdated notions of negative and positive rights. And the reality is that the most successful cultures, such as that of the US embrace multiculturalism, international trade, and so forth. While cultures which are isolationists and value only their own survival, such as North Korea, aren't very successful.
