No one has an automatic right to a living or anything else that must be provided whether they like it or not by others. That would be like saying that some have the right to abrogate the rights of others for their benefit and to effectively partially enslave them. I am all for getting to a world of super-abundance and for voluntary and only voluntary ensuring that others get access to this abundance. I am not for any claims that anyone owns any of the life, money, time or anything else of others just because they were born.
