The problem with the concept of additive rights, is that they require unequal application to a populace. You cannot have an additive right that everyone gets. For every addition there must be a subtraction. If you think you have 'right' to a private jet; someone has to make that jet - and you don't have to give them anything back. This is the logic of the thugs that use their threats to take the apple in your hand.

Sorry, you are not better than any other human.
