The most important issue in this 2012 election is still women’s rights

Does a right mean that taxpayers have to pay for it?

that depends upon if we the people want to pay for that, and I for example at time to support the poor do indeed feel that we need to support the poor as well as some others. I'm well aware that many do not support the poor, but I do

Yes. Part of being society is that we take care of each other.

I can believe we're still having this fight in 2012. The church would have us constantly going backwards. A populace that refuses to become informed and educated, and distrusts anyone who is, is only too happy to help.

Maybe women won't figure out what's happening and fight to become fully equal until they've lost all the gains they've made in the last fifty years. I hope it doesn't come to that, but it often looks that way.

Does a right mean someone else has to pay for it?

I'm not saying you cant have one, I just don't think we have to forcefully make someone pay for someone else's.

Probably concentration of wealth is the most important thing going just now because of how it affects everything else. Of course, I don't think that's an issue in this election. (We aren't too bright.)

Does a woman have the right to be wealthy?

How about if she earned it? (Obama doesn't think any did it on their own)

How about if her husband earned it?

Should the government have control over who gets to keep their wealth and who shouldn't?

Winston,

Assuming your questions are not merely a rhetorical device I shall answer them seriously.

1) Does a woman have a right to be wealthy?

Government should be so limited as to be unable to prevent women from becoming wealthy. (That's my opinion, not a fact.)

Rights, to me are not a property of individuals but the prohibitions on the exercise of power by "authority."

I have no objection to women being wealthy.

2) How about if she earned it?

I think those who earn wealth deserve to be wealthy. (Opinion, not fact.)

3) How about if her husband earned it?

Then he deserves to be wealthy. That says nothing about his family. If he chooses to give wealth to his wife, then she would have wealth. I don't mind that either. Neither should the government mind. (Opinion, not fact.)

4) Should the government have control over who gets to keep their wealth and who shouldn't?

Under some circumstances the government should (my opinion) have the power to decide who gets to keep their wealth and who should not. The government has the power in all situations so the exercise of this power is not always (usually?) what it should be.

Examples:

Person A steals (or fraud or extortion or other illegal means) wealth from person B. The government should have the power to return that wealth to person A.

Person A and person B are kin of wealthy person C who dies intestate. The government should have the power to say how much wealth person A gets and how much person B gets if any.

There are others but these give you the idea of what kind of situations.

In my system there are no situations in which the government makes any such decisions. I prefer my system. :-)

Does a woman have a right to own an "assault weapon"?
Does a woman have a right to consume a 32oz beverage in NYC?
Does a woman have the right to keep the fruits of her labor?

Radical liberals and radical conservatives are always trying to take women's rights away.
