The Bill of Rights, Rewritten

[cheeseburger]

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in health care.

I dont see why not. A system where most people cant afford it only means the emergency room has to deal with primary care issues on top of emergencies.

ARTICLE IX: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times; but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

But... you should. At least a minimum wage job. The whole reason America was such a great country some years back was that you could come here, work hard (and honestly), and make a decent living. Right now, you can work as hard as you want, if you dont have any education you wont get anywhere. Sure its great to have an education, but with the miserably pathetic public schools we have, whose fault is it really?

Sadly, if the original Bill of Rights was put before congress now, I doubt it would pass.
