Happiness is NOT the purpose of government
"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves - such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine. The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty."
-- Albert Einstein
(1879-1955) Physicist and Professor, Nobel Prize 1921

COMMENT: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (or property) is NOT what the government is supposed to 'provide' but what it's actions (or lack of) are supposed to enable YOU to pursue YOURSELF!
