Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told a group of high school students that they dont have a right to health care, food and shelter, WISN reports.
Said Johnson: I think its probably more of a privilege.
He added: Do you consider food a right? Do you consider clothing a right? Do you consider shelter a right? What we have as rights is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Past that point, we have the right to freedom. Past that point is a limited resource that we have to use our opportunities given to us to afford those things.

(15,805 posts)Can he explain what those rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, means? If it isn't the basic rights of healthcare, food and shelter, then what is it?
