Directly providing jobs to any citizen who desired one could lead to inefficiencies in government as easily as it could in private business. Although economic efficiencies is clearly not the primary criteria by which we judge governments, too much inefficiencies can create both economic and political turmoil. Simply put, government could not provide every citizen with a job. Since rights claimed against the government should (at least within a democracy) be held equally by all citizens, and since not every citizen could be employed by government, citizens cannot claim a right to a job from the government.
