Vacationing Is A Human Right?

According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:

So now, robbing other people to pay for your foreign vacation is a human right, just like robbing other people to pay for your health care is a human right and robbing other people to pay for your education is a human right.

An overseas holiday used to be thought of as a reward for a year's hard work. Now Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right and pensioners, youths and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidised by the taxpayer.

No longer considered human rights: free speech, property ownership, and the free exercise of religion.

You would think the Eurotopians would have figured out by now that the model of college until the age of 30, retirement at 55, and six months of vacation a year in between is economically unsustainable. Yet, they persist in pretending that you can have a wealthy society in which no one actually works.

Now this is one entitlement I could embrace. . . . .When can I book a week in Cancun or Jamaica?  :) :)

Seriously. . . .Has our "Socialist" world gone absolutely NUTS?
