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 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.
