It's from the pursuit clause.

As Lewis sees it, “The Constitution’s 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. That means if one person has health insurance then it is the government’s responsibility to make sure everyone has it.”

So if one person makes $174,000 per year for a part time government job, then that government's responsibility is to make sure everyone has a part time government job paying $174,000 per year. Where's my paycheck, Congressman? It's my Constitutional Right. The 14th Amendment says so.

Idiot.

Our notion of “rights” originated in the Saxon “customary” law which underlies English common law, which was received as the basis for American law. Rights included the physical rights of “were” (protection/security of life or limb); the psychological status rights of “mund” (peace, privacy, conscience); and the ownership rights of private property.
Added to these were the civil or procedural rights wrested from the English king over centuries: presumption of innocence, juries, due process, equality before the law, reasonable search and seizure, etc.

Health care, food, housing, water are not rights. Rights do not extend to “equity” or equal fiscal circumstances. Equality before the law means the rule of law, not persons -that the judge applies the law the same way to a traffic violation or murder committed by a rich white man as a poor black one.

Can’t we require a civics proficiency test before people serve in Congress? Geez!
