How about enshrining the rights, as granted to us by the government, to a job, healthcare, retirement and housing in the Constitution?
What do you think of the following amendments?
Quote:
Amendment 28. Citizens of the United State of America have the right to work (that is, to guaranteed employment and pay in accordance wit the quantity and quality of their work, and not below the state-established minimum), including the right to choose their trade or profession, type of job and work in accordance with their inclinations, abilities, training and education, with due account of the needs of society.
This right is ensured by the American economic system, steady growth of the productive forces, free vocational and professional training, improvement of skills, training in new trades or professions, and development of the systems of vocational guidance and job placement.
Amendment 29. Citizens of the United State of America have the right to rest and leisure.
This right is ensured by the establishment of a working week not exceeding 40 hours, for workers and other employees, a shorter working day in a number of trades and industries, and shorter hours for night work; by the provision of paid annual holidays, weekly days of rest, extension of the network of cultural, educational, and health-building institutions, and the development on a mass scale of sport, physical culture, and camping and tourism; by the provision of neighborhood recreational facilities, and of other opportunities for rational use of free time.
Amendment 30. Citizens of the United State of America have the right to health protection.
This right is ensured by free, qualified medical care provided by state health institutions; by extension of the network of therapeutic and health-building institutions; by the development and improvement of safety and hygiene in industry; by carrying out broad prophylactic measures; by measures to improve the environment; by special care for the health of the rising generation, including prohibition of child labour, excluding the work done by children as part of the school curriculum; and by developing research to prevent and reduce the incidence of disease and ensure citizens a long and active life.
Amendment 31. Citizens of the United State of America have the right to maintenance in old age, in sickness, and in the event of complete or partial disability or loss of the breadwinner.
The right is guaranteed by social insurance of workers and other employees and collective farmers; by allowances for temporary disability; by the provision by the state or by collective farms of retirement pensions, disability pensions, and pensions for loss of the breadwinner; by providing employment for the partially disabled; by care for the elderly and the disabled; and by other forms of social security.
Amendment 32. Citizens of the United State of America have the rights to housing.
This right is ensured by the development and upkeep of state and socially-owned housing; by assistance for co-operative and individual house building; by fair distribution, under public control, of the housing that becomes available through fulfilment of the programme of building well-appointed dwellings, and by low rents and low charges for utility services. Citizens of the United State of America shall take good care of the housing allocated to them.
Amendment 33. Citizens of the United State of America have the right to education.
This right is ensured by free provision of all forms of education, by the institution of universal, compulsory secondary education, and broad development of vocational, specialised secondary, and higher education, in which instruction is oriented toward practical activity and production; by the development of extramural, correspondence and evening courses, by the provision of state scholarships and grants and privileges for students; by the free issue of school textbooks; by the opportunity to attend a school where teaching is in the native language; and by the provision of facilities for self-education.
I would also add the following: Any American shall have the right to enter into a marriage contract with any consenting adult.
That's kinda narrow minded, isn't it? Why not say "Any American shall have the right to enter into a marriage contract with any number of people, animals or plants"

How about my guaranteed rights to at least one luxury car, unlimited Netflix, and a lifetime supply of pizza and beer? How about a right to unlimited ammunition and a comfy chair?
America used to be a place in which people were happy to live free and did not require the yoke of dependency through government "guarantees" in life.
