: I agree with Peikoff. You are entitled to protect both your life and your property as property is an extension of your life.

: Both your life and your property are determined firstly by your parents and then by you. It should then be up to you to sustain both your life and your property in the way you see fit.

: If your parents give you life without the ability to also give you property then you will have to earn it by convincing someone their investment in you is worth the return you will give them.

: In this way nobody is required to start with property, merely the ability to earn it by providing the owners of property with services in exchange for it. The primary responsibility for this ability is placed on the parents as they made the decision to bring you into the world. It is then placed on you to determine to what percentage of your capability you take yourself.

: At the other extreme... If you are unable to sustain your own life why should you be entitled to any property?
