One bullet point in the example simpley states”Men Are Equal.” It would be interesting to hear what he would say about this. Our Constitution says that men are created equal. Men do not remain equal. Thomas Jefferson said, and I paraphrase, that it is a grave mistake to attempt to make unequal men equal.

The result is at best socialism. Usually it is oppression, tyranny, Cuba, North Korea, and etc.

The example is intended to be humorous (I think). It's basically Lincoln's Gettysburg Address reduced to 2 PowerPoint slides.

Good observation - one I have not heard people point out before.

On the other hand - and an equally important but equally subtle point - did you notice the actual phrase is “ life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...”

Life is absolute. No qualifiers. No exceptions.

Liberty is absolute. No qualifiers, no if, and, or but’s or foulmouthed “only if the government approves of your happiness”

But you only have a right to “the pursuit of happiness”.

You have NO RIGHT to "happiness".
