Rights are Granted by God, not the Government

This nation was founded on the principle that all men are created with equal rights to liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Note that we were not founded on the principle that all men are created with equal rights to health care, a job, and happiness. But progressives try daily to get you to believe that this is so. While selling their government overhaul of health care (something that they are still doing after passing it into law), the Dems tried to convince you that they were doing all if this for your own good. Furthermore, they tried to convince you that you had a right to free health care. The President attempted to convince you that all Americans have a right to a job and a college education when pushing for enactment of the stimulus packages of last year. This all sounds rosy at first, but so does everything else central to the utopia that progressives envision for America.

The fact is that government does not have the right or obligation to take control over our health care system. Instead this is a right that is reserved for either the State or the people. Would you like to know where this is said in the Constitution? The Tenth Amendment states that:

The powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Federal Government simply does not have the authority to initiate an overhaul of our health care system, as is seen in the Tenth Amendment.
