oligarchy is unconstitutional, i would argue. "pursuit of happiness" means enjoying the fruits of one's labor, it does not mean unlimited wealth

The Constitution Was Written by Oligarchs. Quit Pushing That Fraud on the Rest of Us.

Which of his three houses did he proclaim that from?

 

[Paleman]

Three million dollars is enormous wealth? Seriously? Wow, sucks to be you.

Where did you get that number? His homes are probably worth more than that. It is a hell of a lot more than he needs to live the good life so give some of it up. That is what he is preaching.

Income inequality is real and it is a problem, whether or not you agree with democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.

Even fake billionaire Donald Trump says it is a problem which needs to be fixed.

[Trump suggests he might want to take on income inequality

President Donald Trump suggested he might be interested in pushing for policy that addresses the widening income gap in the U.S., but didn’t suggest a plan.

Trump commented in a retweet about how much some prominent billionaires have increased their net worth during the coronavirus pandemic, while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs.

Trump tweeted a Business Insider graphic and video that compared the 40 million Americans filing for unemployment during the pandemic to billionaires whose net worth, according to the video, increased by half a trillion dollars.

“I actually agree with this," Trump tweeted. “Too much income disparity. Changes must be made, and soon!"

Our tax structure is legislatively designed to unnaturally concentrate wealth at the top.

The American people will not put up with this much longer.

not to mention what he's probably HIDING to avoid taxes.

You mean like claiming an 11,000 square foot apartment is 30,000 square feet?

Why do you want to limit a persons success? If you won 1 billion dollars from the lottery, would you then become a fascist?

 

[whitehall]

You almost gotta laugh that Bernie is part of the 1%. What the hell has he ever done to fix the problem he claims to exist? Did he communicate with big fan James Hodgkinson before he opened fire on a republican baseball team?

it does not mean unlimited wealth

You pursue happiness YOUR way... I'll pursue happiness mine.

The Constitution doesn't specify in which way happiness can be found.
