Not particularly. Things generally cost money. It's not a human rights violation to say you can't see a movie if you have zero dollars.

So then we don't worry about people's ability to engage in their communities through shared experiences and exposure to arts and culture, we just leave people out? Exclude them if they're poor. I don't think I care for that to be honest.
