The right to work is among the most fundamental of all human rights.
The right to work is what insures your very survival. Work is the
only means by which individuals can obtain food, clothing and
shelter. Without work none of these are possible.
Human rights are usually listed as the right to Food, Clothing and
Shelter -- but you are not entitled to that as a consequence of being
human. When rights are expressed by a list like this it results in the
State being the provider of these rights, and thus the state must
enslave its own people to provide for its own people. It's sort of like
"I beat you because I love you."
However, when expressed as "you are only endowed with the
right to work to create and obtain those things," you give to each
individual the ability to provide for himself and his family.
Work is part of the right to survival.
