Stephen Holmes and Cass R. Sunstein The Cost of Rights Americans Government Politics	Those Americans who wish to be left alone prize their immunities from public interference, while those who wish to be taken care of seek entitlements to public aid.

Negative rights typically protect liberty; positive rights typically promote equality. The former shield a private realm, whereas the latter reallocate tax dollars.
