Hey, we have human rights ok?

For a monthly fee
- Plus deductible/copay and a large out of pocket maximum.
  
  You also need prior approval by our unlicensed professionals before you use your rights.*
  
  *The necessity to use your rights does not factor into the approval process. We reserved all rights to deny approval to use your rights for any reason.
- Thanks to Obama we have to have human rights or we pay a fine.
  
  "Bu-but it worked for car insurance!" No, it fucking didn't!
If everyone gets it, then yes. If only rich people get it, then no.
- Everyone will be guaranteed the right to buy a mansion with their own money. There, equality accomplished.
Americans.

Basic respect.

Is this woke?
Listen, you commie scumbag. Unless you're in debt for your pregnancy / heart attack / stroke, you're a socialist pos and I'll hunt you down with my AR-15.

Merica.
It's kind of correct, though
Of course a government can grant privileges, but I don't like the notion of positive rights. Of placing an obligation on others as being inherent. Because that would mean those rights aren't inherent, in the natural state, you would be having those rights infringed by default.
- in the natural state
  
  Human society is pretty far removed from nature though. For example, are you against the right to own property ?
  
  That's fair, I am against the right to arbitrarily claim property, but to not steal someone else's shelter isn't exactly placing an obligation on others.
Am I just old, or is this format wrong for the meaning of this meme?
- Even old people would know that format is fine
  
  From what I remember, it was meant to restate the obvious for effect. This feels like highlighting an underlying attitude instead.
