But you'd be hard-pressed to find people with bigger senses of entitlement that theirs.
In Argentina, there's currently a big hubbub over the possible nationalization of Vicentín - the country's 6th largest agro-exporter.
Right-wingers have quickly taken up the issue as a battle horse, organizing (scantily-attended) protests under the banners of "In defense of private property" and "We're all Vicentín" - a bastardization of France's "We're All Charlie Hebdo" in 2015.
But Vicentín's owners basically hollowed out the firm, leaving $1.4 billion in bad debts to 2,600 creditors - a bust-out much like Bain Capital's with Toys 'r Us, Paul Singer's with Delphi auto parts, and Lampert's with Sears.
They basically took the money and offshored it to Switzerland.
$400 million of that debt is with the Argentine public sector, plus $220 million with the World Bank (!). And 1,900 creditors are farmers themselves, owed an average of $200,000 each for purchased grain that Vicentín never paid for.
Many are small farmers that may fold if they're not paid soon.
But I guess their right to private property doesn't count.
