That’s not really less rights though. That’s like saying the rich have fewer rights under progressive taxation. And no, generally the more rich and/or powerful you are the more rights society provides you. Even countries which strive for more equality simply try to shore up the most egregious instances but there’s always a difference. That’s because not all rights matter equally to everyone. For example, rich and poor both don’t have the right to sleep on a park bench but in practice that right is only particularly relevant to one party.
