>Everybody has the right to achieve a decent life. What you are actually asking for is the right to have material wealth. Which isn't a right. I don't see how you can so easily divorce the two. If I can't afford to send my kids to school - do I have a decent life? If I can't afford to see the doctor, do I have a decent life? I'm not arguing that everyone should be afforded to drive Lamborghini's, but that the American project of guaranteeing individual liberties and freedom is predicated on some wealth distribution; otherwise the working class are effectively slaves to their own existence. Democracy is a means on how that power is utilized in order to control the individual lives of others. You wouldn't reject that standard for any other law; you wouldn't allow rich people to openly commit murder because you didn't want to infringe in their individual liberty.
