Do you think you have a right to a job?

[samuel_adams_us]

No, I have the right to compete for a job in a fair competition. BTW, I have a job, just standing up for my fellow man, try it some time.

[Dirk McQuickly]

A job isn't a right, per se. But the powers that be have a fiduciary responsibility to the nation that the economy be stable -- and be job-rich. Capitalism is not a work program for some other nation.

If you think this is not going to come home to roost in a major way in the not-so-distant future, you are sorely, SORELY mistaken. The 6.1% unemployment rate does not include the legion that have already blown through their benefits...

Do you think you have a right to a job?

Yup. I do. I think I have a right to a job. What of it?

These companies have no right to jobs either. I say we disregard all their wants and desires and tax them out of business completely. How about we completely get rid of the capitalist way of life. (sarcastic remark there)

Under a capitalist system I have a right to a job the same way they have a right to sell me a product.
