IIRC, I read that the Founder's, when writing the Constitution, originally started with: “pursuit of property” but ended with “pursuit of happiness”.

Clearly you are right, the government owns our property forever, through the tax system.

The poor stay poor because they have lost the ability to plan for the future or even hope for a future. Everything is in the now—they want instant gratification—if given money they spend it hoping to buy something that will make them happy. A new flat screen TV or a Boob Job, or new toy. It never lasts as things can not give one lasting satisfaction. The Middle Class and Rich know they must sacrifice for the future, to build a life, a business, a dream. Short term pain for long term gain. What is needed is HOPE.
