What Are Economic Human Rights?

Economic Human Rights include the RIGHT to:
ü Quality health care,
ü A job or income, living wages, equal pay, and
the ability to join a union
ü Affordable housing,
ü Adequate and nutritional food
ü Free education, and
ü A decent standard of living.

Just as we have a right: ~ to free speech,
~ to practice our religion,
~ to trial by jury, and
~ to other political rights…

The right to participate actively in our economy and
to have our basic needs met ought to be a right as well.
It is what people in most European and other industrialized countries already have.
