Cruz won, but I wish he had said something like “We ALL have access to the mansion. If we really want it and if we work hard and save our money then we CAN have that mansion if we really want it. It’s not just going to be given to us.”

I didn’t see it. But there needs to be, if you talk about unfairness, a point made re poor people not having to put forth one iota of effort to get expensive treatments and time with learned medical professionals. The squirrel who works hardest should get the most nuts. Middle class people struggle to afford braces for their kids’ teeth and often do without something else in their life (including leisure time!) to pay for them. Whereas there are “programs” for poor people to get free braces. Their parents didn’t have to put ANY EFFORT toward the cost. Things like that are so unfair.

I believe it was P.J. O’Rourke:

“There’s NOTHING more expensive than a ‘free’ government program!”

I don’t know. I mean, I think we’d all agree we have a right to purchase a house. Government has no business banning some people from purchasing houses.

So maybe Cruz should have said, “well, we all have a right to live in a house, so if “rights” mean “access”, some homeless people should move into one of your mansions, right?”

Yes, and he should have also made reference to the many mansions of the filthy rich leftists like Streisand, George Clooney, and the Clintons.
