CNBC’s Cramer Declares “Government Has A Right To Force You To Obey”
(by Steve Watson | Summit News) – CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer has taken his personal vaccine mandate zeal a step further by declaring to his audience that “the government has a right to force you to obey.”
Cramer made the statement on Twitter:
government has a right to force you to obey and has always exercised it especially under GOP

Needless to say, the backlash was swift:
I missed the “right to force you to obey” in the Constitution but go off. https://t.co/fC5eoVbVFE

Governments do not have rights. Only individuals have rights. Rights emerge from properties inherent to our existence, their source is our humanity, and they are fundamental to the nature of our being. Rights cannot be granted by government because they preexist all governments. https://t.co/YlaXGJrSf4

You came out as a fascist a while ago, but I guess this is a more blatant way of admitting it

Actually, the U.S. is based on the principle of individual rights, and the idea that the individual is the basic unit of moral and political value. Individuals delegate political power to the gov’t *to protect them from the initiation of force.* Opposite of your theory.

In a follow up tweet, Cramer accused anyone who opposes government COVID vaccine mandates of being “pro-polio”:
I am getting people furious of my pro-vax stand. I don’t have a pro-vax stand, i have a stand to keep people healthy. You are anti- healthy if you are against me. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PRO -POLIO
