Under natural law, we all have certain unalienable rights. The rights we possess we have authority to delegate. For example, we all have a right to defend ourselves against predators. Because we possess that right, we can delegate it to government, in effect saying, We have the right to defend ourselves, but for a more orderly society, we delegate to you the authority to defend us. By contrast, I dont possess the right to take your earnings to give to another. Seeing as I have no such right, I cannot delegate it. The idea that one person should be forcibly used to serve the purposes of another has served as the foundation of mankinds ugliest and most brutal regimes. Do we want that for America?
