This is where "entitlement" comes from, and it is not circular, it's spirally.
(And yes, this is an "entitlement argument", although I'm not really sure why that is bad.)
I do not agree about your resoning about being human. Why is it just that variant of existence that should exist?

But regarding "deserve". Why do they deserve what the market can bear? Why do they not deserve half of what the market can bear for example?

And I really do not get why somebody deserve something. People live in interaction with others and when we talk about "deserve" it is always a shorthand for a more complicated process.
