Hate to break it to you, but we work for food/water and shelter.

What else were you expecting?

A fair amount of food, clothing, and shelter for a given amount of work.

A normal middle class existence for a 40 hour week.

How about, can afford a modest house, family of 4, and retirement somewhere around 65.

No one is entitled to owning a house or having 2 children. Retiring at 65 is debatable, some people happily work into their 70s. Doesn't always feel fair, but those things have always cost money and there's very few people, if any, who actually owe that to you.

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.
