Wealth Creation vs Earning Wealth

People don't have to rely on others to pay them! They are capable of creating their own wealth! That's one thing that separates humans from animals! Wealth is not a limited thing that must be distributed amongst a population! Wealth is something each person is capable of creating for himself! He does not need to draw it from others or from a limited pool! The founders were protecting this individual creation of wealth when they declared humans to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and they were guarding against the regulation of this creation of wealth in the Bill of Rights! The founders new that a central government distributing wealth would lead to major corruption! That's why thy said 'pursuit' of happiness instead of just a right to happiness! Of course there are those who are incapable of creating sustaining wealth! Some of these being the very young and the very old, the sick and the disabled. It's not up to the government to care for these but up to friends and family! But in America today an erosion of morals and family values has destroyed the family! That's why the founders said the type of freedom provided by the constitution could only be attained and guarded by a moral people! Our country would be in much better shape if these principles were still taught in schools!
