"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain

Pursuit of Happiness ..."
- Thomas Jefferson
Declaration of Independence

living the end of his days in relative proverty on the good will of
others, because of who he was.
Did he really think we should scrap everything? Check out the link
