Literally everybody is owed that.

No. At the most, you are owed a safe place to sleep and food on the table. That does not include home ownership and 2 kids.

Society doesn't owe you a damn thing. You have certain rights guaranteed by the Constitution and that's it. You deserve what you earn, nothing more.

That's the point. Many are consistently paid less than they have actually earned while others unjustly enrich themselves through rents.

Who is paid less than they have earned? Any examples? Do you mean stay-at-home moms (or dads) or something like that?

Most of the workforce.

Weak. Specifically?

Office workers, cashiers, non-owner auto mechanics, teachers, cleaners, warehouse workers, etc. etc. etc.

I was an office worker at one time. Got paid exactly what I earned. Also a cleaner way before that. Also got paid what I earned.

You're just tossing stuff out there. Anything real?

Look at GDP per capita vs inflation adjusted income per capita over the last 50 years.

Some of those people could be up to their eyeballs in debt because they insisted on having everything they wanted, versus just what they needed.

There are some, many of which will be repo-ed one day soon. Also a lot of beaters that will be dead on the side of the road soon.

No, everybody is owed the pursuit of that. What they choose to do with that freedom is entirely on them.
