It is patently wrong to believe that the government creates, destroys or changes rights. Rights are absolute and inalienable, and they remain unchanged whether government exists or not.

Governments sometimes enforce rights - for instance by locking up murderers, rapists and muggers. Sometimes they violate rights - by locking up prostitutes, gamblers, and people who chop down trees in their own yards (or threatening to lock them up). But governments cannot create, destroy or change rights. Government agents might imprison the person who mugged you.

Government is not about rights. Government is merely about power. The power of the elites, the power of the power bloc, or perhaps in a democracy, the power of the majority.

When the government passes a new law, and politicians proudly proclaim that they have given people the right to a (taxpayer funded) flush toilet, or maybe to paint their houses whatever color they want to, they have not created a right at all. They may have given people the power to do something. In the first case they have given people the power to violate the rights of others (by taking their money in the form of taxes). In the latter case they have given people the power to exert their right (to paint their own house whatever color they want).

But nothing the government will ever do will create or remove a right.
