The proper role of government is not to provide us with goods and services, it is to protect our God-given rights from those who violate them.
We were all born with equal rights and responsibilities and the proper role of government is to protect our rights and not to provide us with goods and services.
According to Natural Law that in order to harvest we must first plant the seeds. When we receive the fruits of another man's labor, we are stealing the productivity of others.
Every thing we obtain is either earned or stolen. In a society where the government can take from Peter to pay Paul one of the fundamental law of nature is violated.
The government should punish those who lie, cheat and steal and provide everyone with the opportunity to succeed or fail without governmental interference.
Laws that punish the violators of Natural Law are just and apply to everyone. When a Congressman or an unemployed derelict touch a hot stove, they both get burned.
Natural Law defines what we can not lawfully do, while Civil Laws tells us what we must do. Natural Law promotes liberty, equality and justice, while Civil Law benefit some at the expense of others.
Human rights come from God, while Civil Rights come from the legislatures of men.
