Another “SJW” view I’ve always had. You didn’t do anything to be born here. You were lucky. And you should appreciate it. Not feel entitled.

Extend that view out and most things received by accident of birth belie any feeling of entitlement: race, gender, financial status

I absolutely would, and do. Trump is a great example of the financial status one.

Lots of moral / political positions seem to flow from this view, though, that people might have trouble reckoning with.

For example, if you have no entitlement to financial advantages received at birth, can't the govt. institute confiscatory taxes?

I don’t think it’s the government’s responsibility to involve themselves in the entitlement mentalities that could develop.
