The Constitution of the United States does NOT guarantee the right to happiness, only the right to pursue happiness. You are not guaranteed the right to health, wealth or pleasure, only the right to earn it. You are not guaranteed the right to free anything, only the right to work for and earn it. We are not perfect and our political system has been corrupted, but America is still head and shoulders above other countries, especially those with planned economies. (Socialism) You are guaranteed the right to freedom of choice however, along with that freedom comes the personal responsibility for your actions arising from those choices. Freedom comes with a responsibility that you must accept if you don’t want to surrender your freedom of choice. If you forfeit your freedom for the comfort of being taken care of or protected by others just like sheep, swine, cattle and hens (entitlement mentality) then you are subject to their rule and must submit to their will whether you like it or not even if it means being led to slaughter. Submitting to the will of others is slavery in one form or another. The results of this kind of thinking are found in China, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea.
