Oh, please, I was reading Mises 20 years ago. How presumptuous! Mr. Paul is simply wrong on issues pertaining to humanities basic needs ( please read where I said he is correct). A socialized currency issued equally to all in a non-debt manner would solve the issue...Why did you misrepresent my saying humanities basic needs with human rights?
And please, go somewhere else if you want to argue this tired old capitalist/communist trope...Bored to death of it.....

I apologize. Happy to agree to disagree about basic needs.
Do you think trillions of dollars given freely to about 2000 oligarchs is in anyway merited? The money for nothing making the casino owners who run civilization enormously wealthy via vast systems of unmerited wealth? Do you give these people a free pass while so easily denying and dismissing the basic needs of humanity? Please read Abraham Maslow. Everyone is capable of becoming healthy and functional as long as the foundational issues of their life are met. Mises and Paul, on this issue, are wrongly transferring a false understanding of Darwinism into the field of economics and especially, Mr. Paul has an extraordinarily faulty understanding of The Golden Rule--the only thing that really mattered from our mythological past.......
Thanks for the apology.....
BTW, in agrarian societies, those needs were met by having 'free' access to the land; in complex modern societies those needs can only really be met by money; hence the equal distribution of the money supply to all at creation. This will solve the problem of the Pyramid Scheme Central Banking Swindle.....See, I sound just like Ron on that one:)
I'm also curious: as a mother, if you are one, at which point did you decide that one or some of your children didn't have to have their basic needs met?
Because, hypothetically, one of your children could have a chemical imbalance which is prone to one becoming a psychopath? So you starve this child instead of seeking medical help? And I could offer up thousands of justifications for starving one's child....It doesn't make it a healthy ethos....
