I was born and reared in the small Southern town of Belmont, North Carolina. I've never moved towns, let alone states, or even houses. I am the fourth generation to live in a one hundred year old house in the center of downtown Belmont. I am a descendant of the Mayflower and a great-great granddaughter of a Confederate veteran. My family are generational Presbyterians and I have been taught from an early age that all good things are by God's grace and that rights are conferred by God and require nothing from any one else.
For example, there are those who believe that health care is a right. How can this be? In the United States no one is compelled to practice medicine. Without that compulsion or free choice to practice medicine all the money in the world cannot provide health care .
The government's role is to provide for constitutionally authorized services for the good of the nation and it's citizens; it is not constitutionally empowered to redistribute income or wealth from one group to another.
