What's *your* solution for providing workers who don't earn tons of

And what is your rationale for believing that they have an inalienable
right to either ?

Traditionally good health care and good retirement plans were fringe
benefits that employers used to attract and retain a top notch labor
force. When did that become a "right" ? I find nothing in the
constitution. Our ancestors grew up and proliferated without these
"rights". How did they manage? Perhaps by being productive and
thrifty?
