I saw a sign hanging around the neck of one of the protesters. It said "A Job is a Right". Hmmm... Is that a right like the right to pursue happiness? If so, how is this enforced? Enforcing the right to pursue happiness means that the government will intervene if your rights are being compromised, meaning, your right to pursue happiness is being prevented or hindered. Or, you could go to court to sue someone for infringing on your rights in some way.
Does the protester think that everyone should be given a job as soon as they want one? So, anyone, say, 16 years or older can decide they want a job, then show up somewhere that has jobs (at the job store?) and demand a job. If the potential employer refuses, the police could be called, or the potential employee might start a lawsuit against the business.
If someone has a job and they are not performing it very well, they cannot be fired. This would be infringing on their right to have a job. Nobody would ever be fired and nobody would be refused a job if they asked for it. Because it's their right!
Who pays for this? The government? Does it just print money constantly to support the rights of all citizens to have jobs? (I am assuming this right to have a job only extends to citizens).
I wonder what kind of world we'd have if having a job was a right.
