Re: Our Right to work



Dave Young asks, "Why do we have a right to work, and what is that 'right'?"

By the Declaration of Independence you have the "inalienable rights to life, 
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In our economic based society the 
practice/attainement of these rights requires access to economic assets only 
attainable, for most people, through having a job and receiving a salary. 
This, in turn, translates into having the "right to a job," and earn the 
salary required to have a decent life, exercise/practice liberty, and pursue 
happiness.

When "We, the people...."
are replaced by dollars, profits and greed,
it's time to start over!
