Jesse Jackson Jr. has proposed several Constitutional amendments which state that we have the right to full employment, a clean environment, high quality health care, high quality education and safe housing. These amendments are just meant to make all the brainwashed sheep out there feel good because the government cannot guarantee full employment, a clean environment, high quality health care, high quality education and safe housing for all. These proposed amendments sound like something that would be written by Karl Marx or a politician in the old Soviet Union. These are some of the dumbest proposed Constitutional amendments ever in the history of this country, and Jackson should be removed from office just based on the stupidity of these proposals. Government doesn’t grant rights, and certainly nobody has a right to any of these things that Jackson is proposing. People are given inalienable rights to be free when they are born and they cannot be granted or given by any politician or government institution.Check out the text of these proposed Amendments. They are beyond insane. When we have Congressional figures proposing garbage like this, it is clear that we are living in a nation in which real freedom is no more. What we have now is the illusion of freedom.
Right to a clean, safe and sustainable environment.
‘Section 1. All persons shall have a right to a clean, safe, and sustainable environment, which right shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State.
‘Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.’.
This is a stupid proposal because the U.S. government is one of the biggest polluters anywhere. The best way to guarantee a clean environment is to strengthen private property rights, but instead they want us to think that government will guarantee a clean environment. The word sustainable is also a buzz word used by global warming/climate change alarmists trying to push for the global carbon tax agenda based off of these phony environmental problems.
Right to health care of equal quality.
‘Section 1. All persons shall enjoy the right to health care of equal high quality.
‘Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.’.
Any government guarantee of health care for all might be of equal quality, but it will not be high quality. This is nothing short of big government socialism that has failed miserably in other nations. A decentralized free market health care system would make health care affordable again, but they won’t do that because their buddies in the pharmaceutical industrial complex would lose out and they would not be able to grab more control over people’s lives. This proposal is entirely ridiculous. Nobody has the right to health care, but they have the inalienable right to obtain health care if they so choose to do so.
Right to full employment.
‘Section 1. Every person has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work, and to protection against unemployment.
‘Section 2. Every person, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
‘Section 3. Every person who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration ensuring for themselves and their family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
‘Section 4. Every person who works has the right to form and join trade unions for the protection of their interests.
‘Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.’.
The Communists in the Soviet Union guaranteed a job for everyone. When this happened, people decided it was not in their best interest to work hard, because regardless of their work performance they would still have a job. This is a stupid proposal that Karl Marx and other card carrying big government socialists, communists and fascists would approve of. Nobody has an inalienable right to a job. This is something that must be earned based upon merit and what they can offer in terms of skills and talent.
Right to safe, sanitary and affordable housing.
‘Section 1. All persons shall have a right to decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing, which right shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State.
‘Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.’.
How on earth will the government provide safe, sanitary and affordable housing as well as all of these other so called rights for all considering the current economic situation? This is another proposed right designed to make people feel good despite the fact that the government will never and should not be responsible for delivering affordable and safe housing for all. Also, who would define what affordable housing is? Again, people have the right to earn a good home for themselves, it is not an inalienable right.
Right to quality education.
‘Section 1. All persons shall enjoy the right to a public education of equal high quality.
‘Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.’.
This was covered in a previous article. The government wants to make education a right so that they can grab even more federal control over the educational system under the guise that they are doing it to guarantee quality education for all. The more money that has been poured into the educational system the worse education has become in this country. This proposed amendment is a total fraud.
Jackson is clearly a card carrying socialist, communist, fascist or collectivist considering these ridiculous proposed amendments. It is amazing that he seeks to put this type of language in the Constitution which is supposed to limit government from taking away inalienable rights by pretending to grant us rights which are not inalienable. These so called proposed rights are just meant to make everybody feel happy. Again, rights are not granted by government, people are born with them and it is clear Jackson thinks that government grants rights to people and this means that Jackson is either really stupid or a bought and paid for stooge.
