The Right To Take What Other's Provide

Welfare, public education, universal health care, etc.

All these services are a right--a right to take what other people provide.

Can such a right exist? Do we have a right to take what other create and produce? Do we have a right to tell other people whom they may trade with, whom they give their service to, for how much they charge their service?

If so why and more importantly at whose expense?
