You've misinterpreted what I said. I said transit workers, garbage collectors, teachers, nurses, designers, EVERYONE should be entitled to a decent standard of living. That standard of living obviously exists within a social framework and should be determined by what we can feasibly provide people. We have the resources to provide people with decent housing, decent wages, shorter working hours, etc provided that we are interested in other human beings.
But it also depends on what we value and what we deem necessary. I think picking up our trash is necessary. Don't you? I think public transportation is important, don' you?
And if people NEED to fill those positions, why shouldn't they be entitled to basic and otherwise easily-fulfilled necessities and luxuries. Because it's not rocket-science? Give me a break. What's design then?
What your saying, then, is that there are certain groups of individuals who should always be provided less than others.
