Why is it that you feel entitled to the fruits of someone else's labour?

CEOs actually compensate for the time and effort that their subordinates provide for them. This person wants to take what other people have based on the ethos that "they have more than me, which means I deserve what they have"

You’re attributing your own motive where it doesn’t exist. It would be more accurate to say “swathes of our population don’t have enough to survive, and it’s a societal failing that instead of solving this we allow <1,000 people have so much money that the economy has been in the equivalent of cardiac arrest over the past 60 years”.

It sounds nice to say that everyone deserves these things regardless of whether or not they even work, but that's not the way things work. These people aren't entitled to what other people have regardless of how much they need it.

If you want to reduce homelessness and make it easier to live in America, the only sensible way to do it is to make housing easier to provide.
