Walter E. Williams: Human rights v. property rights

Walter E. Williams: Human rights v. property rights: " As President John Adams (1797-1801) put it, 'Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.' Adding, 'The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.'"
