No one is entitled to an income. No one is entitled to an equal distibution of wealth either, the french revolution proves that humanity has a breaking point, where the need is greater then the danger to force change. I do not see employment as a form of explotation when people choose to work, they may starve if they don't but the responsiblity to provide remains with the individual.

I think it would be differcult to argue that anarchy is a better alternative. Most democratic goverments provide their citizens with the right to personal safety, the rights to property and the right to vote. It is an enviroment where citizens will be held accountable for their actions but still have power to define the law and choose the people who control the power.
I also don't see how a democratic goverment is stopping anyone from having a good life. If we define, good living, in financial terms (which you have with the above statement) no one will stop you from making as much money as you can. No one will also force you to work, you are allowed to starve if you prefer it.
What do you belive you deserve MasterSnake? Why do you deserve anything?
