What is (or isn't) a Right?

I hear more talk from people about what they have a "right" to in this society than I have in a long time, and they are being egged on by our socialist-in-chief and his friends in Congress. I especially like it when they put the word "right" in the same sentence as the nebulous word "need".

But let's talk about a right: if you or someone else has to take whatever it is we're talking about (or the resources to get it) from me or someone else in order for you to have it, then what you're talking about isn't a right at all.

Can you imagine the reaction of majority of the world's people who get by on a few dollars per day, should they be forced to listen to the arrogant Americans drone on about their "right" to the things in this society which so many of us are so fortunate to be able to access?

It is both dumbfounding and disturbing to me.
