This is not the compelling argument you think it is; in this analogy I:

* didn't buy my house, I inherited it,

* the people I inherited it from stole it from other people who

* also still live in the house somehow but just in the not-as-nice parts, and

* the house is gigantic and can easily fit literally billions more people without even coming close to exhausting the resources of the house, in fact

* bringing more people into the house would in fact substantially increase the house's shared ability to operate and provide for the members of the house.

So yeah, if we want to use this analogy in a meaningful way, nothing at all entitles me to my house!
