Economic Rights? Those are the words of lazy men and men who are supportive to knock-off manufacturers, No free ride here Carmine and no 'Free Handout Rights' either.
When you speak incoherently and continually speak about a topic you've never understood - one wonders if it’s booze talking.
Why not take your theory of 'Economic/Free Handout Rights' over to Coca Cola and demand your rights - to their formulas.
I hate slothfulness and hate it more when the diligent and the good are expected and told to (and often do) carry the lazy?

dyson DiB, you're dithering again not debating. Yes, economic rights are inalienable rights granted to consumers in a free, market based, consumer driven economy. Unlike legal rights which are government given in a free market economy for patent/copyright protections and are time specific. Read: Expire. The purpose of protections is to give the invention creators their just rewards. Not to grant them a monopoly for life. Of course, you support the billionaire's rights over the consumer rights in the market place. Control the consumer, don't satisfy them. All the while impugning vacuum makers for lack of innovation. Monopolies preempt innovation, my friend. But, then again, small minded inventors and their supporters prefer to litigate rather than innovate.
