Does your definition of human rights include the right to keep what you earn? That is, do all humans have the right to keep what they earn?

How so?
I gave you a how-so: what was advantageous for German society wasn't advantageous for Jews. I gave you another one before that: what is advantageous to society (according to you), isn't advantageous to those who have to pay for it.

You made a leap from governement help in education and healthcare to exterminating the jews. I'm not the one taking leaps.
No, I made the hop from "what is beneficial to society is good" to "what is beneficial for German society is not good for Jews". Not much of a leap at all.
