I feel a little weird when people talk about 'rights' that require someone else doing something for us, like 'rights' that require someone else's labor to be fulfilled. I mostly feel my rights are to a *lack* of interference from others - e.g. a right to freely express.

To guarantee you that freedom, someone else must do some work, whether it's tolerating your opinions, paying taxes to keep society stable, or something else. Freedom can only be created by restricting something else. You can only make a joint hinge by binding things together.

There is still a spectrum, though. I have a 'right' to my freedom (free speech), which means I expect society to be okay with use of force to protect that right. I also am okay with paying money for the labor of those who enforce my right, otherwise I'd be violating their rights!
