RE: "...entitlement vs earned benefits..." and "...an equal share..."

I agree that there is NO entitlement to an equal share.

I believe, as you do, that someone is entitled to what they earn.

I believe that what someone earns is partially determined by supply and demand within a complex international economic system. If effort were the only determinant of what someone is able to earn, I would be inclined to believe that someone is entitled ONLY to what they earn. Since effort is NOT the only determinant, I believe that someone who puts forth reasonable effort is entitled to a share sufficient to live a decent life.
