How can there be equal rights for all when some people are legislators, one is an executive, and most aren't? I was wondering, because being a legislator or an executive isn't an inherent right. Isn't it a special privilege?

How do you get equal rights for all with a centralized govt?

Equal rights are desirable, but the State prohibits equal rights for all. Some say a balance can and should be achieved, but I just don't think the State can do it.

The State always favors the elite, IMO, and that was Hamilton's intention with the Constitution.

You are thinking about this at too high of a level. EVERYONE has equal unalienable rights, regardless of occupation.

For example, I am an IT tech and you are psychotic, we still have the same basic human rights.

OP, don't see where you are coming from on this one. Please clarify the point you are trying to make.

I kind of hate myself for making this thread since I'm really just like a dog chasing its tail... it makes it pretty evident that I suffer from hypo-frontality.

But Obama gets privileges that we don't have and there is no inherent right to be President.

I was asking why people think there can be equal rights for all under the State.

So do you believe that the State is an illusion or did you mean that "everyone should have equal unalienable rights"?

Everyone already is equal. Congress might hear the concerns of multi million dollar donors more than the concerns of the rank and file, but the rank and file have the same right to donate millions to the superpacs of their choice just the same.

I believe that the state can go fuck itself, I dont get my rights from them. I get my rights for simply being born into a human shell. Dont forget, the government doesnt give ANYONE rights, and to think so is proof that you have fallen prey to their seductive propaganda.
