None of those entities claim they are taxing me because the functions they are performing are a "human right." Those are governmental programs our elected officials have chosen to pass and the voters can turn them out if we don't like them.
They are simply political choices--not something we are required to support because they are human rights.

Flash don't get caught up in semantics! That could be frustrating for anyone regarding rights.
Human Rights/American Rights/Citizen's Rights/Constitutional Rights etc.
The problem is that we should all pay taxes, of course!
Some do, some don't, some won't, some can, some can't, some are eager to pay taxes, some cheat on their taxes, while some hate paying taxes, some understand the need for them, some don't see the need for them. But even though we have all those different dynamics playing out- NOT ANY TWO OF US are going to agree on where their tax dollars go.
And no two of us are ever going to agree that our 100 Senators, our president included, or our 435 House Members are going to even satisfy the 100's of millions of tax payers that they are working in the best interest of them with the spending our tax dollars.
Let me give you just two examples!
A hard-working man who pays his taxes and who is also struggling to keep a roof over his families head and keeping them fed is going to want his tax dollars spent on things that would benefit him and other's like him the most.
And a Billionaire who shits on a gold Toilet using toilet paper with Hillary's picture on every sheet, may have his own ideas about where his tax dollars go as well.
It's just the way nature works. No reason to get mad! No reason to let it get to you as you should already know this and understand it.
So really, we aren't even discussing "HUMAN RIGHT'S" as we are really talking about what kinds of rights do we want our fellow Americans to have and what are we willing to pay for.
But, never expect everyone to agree with you on these matters, because not everyone will- and for different reasons!
That was my point. If you think we should have national health care make your argument based on your reasons. Don't try to pretend that everybody is entitled to health care as a human right. Nobody is entitled to anything, but we can choose to have the government provide certain benefits.
Not obvious. When I was growing up our public schools were the envy of the world. The federal government ran the system then and for many years previous. Our system was systematically destroyed by wealthy who saw a way to make a profit off of it. Part of the plan was to make outrageous claims about teachers. As usual, say it often enough and the masses will believe it. Teachers are dedicated professionals. For many, it is a calling. They live their lives to educating kids.
Education should be national. People move from state to state and they should be able to walk into another states schools system seamlessly.
The money in big government programs is too much for bankers and wealthy to pass up. They want it.
That is the same for Social Security. It has not missed a check in over 80 years. Want to see erratic checks and less money in it, allow bankers to get their hands on it.
No people government is not the problem. It is bankers and the wealthy looting our systems.
It appears so-called republicans cannot deal with anything of a civilized, decent and Godly nature as the appeared heathen they are.
Yet it appears in the process of attempting to overthrow civilization as in finite slaves of the devil, the cretins and ungodly heathen have overthrown their own putrid souls to a eternal damnation. It also appears the fools are doing the same thing that Lucifer tried to do in Heaven at thinking its spirit would over thrown God's creation but ended up getting thrown out of Heaven to end up on earth to walk around on its belly or as a roaring lion seeking to devour the souls of people like tRump and his brainwashed cult followers.
Regarding preventive medicine; (i.e. “an ounce of prevention”): I’m a proponent of insurance plans not charging anything that’s effectively a co-payment for what’s a reasonably conventional preventive or diagnostic service or procedure applicable to the patient’s condition.
I’m also a proponent of federal catastrophic medical expenses insurance as an entitlement of USA legal insured or uninsured residents. Regardless of whatever is or will be our nation’s medical policies, this policy would improve our nation’s economic and social condition.
The federal government could recover any payments made on behalf of a patient that were due to an insurer or the medical provider’s grievous failure. An insurance organization directly or indirectly causing or worsening the condition of who was then their client, that eventually caused or increased the amount of the catastrophic medical expense would be the insurer’s failure.
Respectfully, Supposn
I don't know when you grew up, but it sounds like you are quite young.
Nope. The federal government didn't start dictating curriculum to public schools until 1980. President Carter's idea.
Which makes you, younger than 40.
What system is that? Void argument fallacy.
No, such plan. When teachers started teaching this curriculum, people started making complaints about the curriculum, and they should.
Apparently it works with YOU.
No. Government employees are not professionals.
No, it's a government job.
No, they live their lives to make a paycheck.
Why?
History is the same. Science is the same. Mathematics is the same. Grammar is the same. Computers are the same. Reading is the same English words. Why do you need a federal government program to keep these the same??
Did you know it was theirs to begin with? Government took it from them!
It has missed thousands of checks. Worse, the Social Security program will collapse by 2034. It might even take the dollar with it.
Government is the problem.
The wealthy are not 'looting our systems'. The wealthy created the wealth the government is stealing in the first place.
Banks are simply part of the Federal Reserve system. Along with the Federal Reserve, they ARE looting the wealth of the nation. They're required to through the banking laws set up by the Federal Reserve.
