To qualify that statement, yes, as long as you work for them, and no, "work" doesn't mean you stealing them from me in the form of usurious taxes.

There were a fair number of commercial hunters among that lot.  Sport hunters nowadays, of which I am one, don't go around blasting everything that looks remotely like a "target." 

As usual, vestanumbers makes an absolutely, totally, embarrassingly stupid comment. Not a single species has been threatened by sport hunting, even in the days before regulations. Some were severely reduced by market hunters - whose motivation was purely commercial. The bison had to go. Their survival depended on cross country migration across the great plains. Humans depended on fencing. The swarming herds of bison were as incompatible with civilization as herds of mastodons would have been. You cannot have America without its midwest breadbasket. So the choice is between bison herds and a handful of indian savages, or America.

"Right" = "Force others to provide."

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
