When did having roads become a right?
Or fire stations?
The interstates or a Navy?
Those are not rights, and no one has ever said they were rights.

How do you feel about public schools, OP?
I’m guessing you are also like:
Why should I pay to educate someone else’s child?
Why should I pay for roads I don’t drive on?
Why should I pay for fire stations that will likely never benefit me?
Stop enslaving me to pay for schools, roads, and emergency services I don’t use, waah waah waah
I’m guessing if a poor person breaks their arm, you want them to die of sepsis? Too bad for them, huh.
No, I accept that the democratic process and policies of our lawmakers have led to public schools. I would vote for public schools any day and support paying for them. I understand that roads are fundamental to the economy and support them. Fire stations - the same. I would even support a bond measure to raise money (weirdly some municipalities rely on volunteers to put out fires, yet provide free housing to illegal immigrants). I am not opposed to some level of healthcare, but what is provided on medicaid is far above what I would support. Neighborhood clinics for preventive health and life, limb, and eyesight emergent care seems appropriate - and some program for children who need care and treatment for illnesses. Definitely not some insurance scheme that enriches for-profit health systems.

+1 I'd wager that the OP went to public schools at some point and even if they didn't they have benefitted from research done in public universities.

It is charity given by the grace of others.
The entitlement attitude is childish and gross.
