This is yet another article that doesn't understand what wealth is. There is almost no point talking about these numbers, because they mislead more than they inform.

Agreed - it also doesn't understand rights. A right to someone's labor is slavery. It's great to have robust social programs. However, they aren't a right - they are benefits. Changing the definition of rights is a trick to idea smuggle politics.
