I’m arguing that economic justice is not “un-American.”
John Adams defined the purpose of government as ease, comfort, and security.
Thomas Paine argued that extreme wealth owes a debt back to society.

The “Pursuit of Happiness” is a cruel joke if a single diagnosis can wipe out your family’s entire economic foundation. Adams’ definition of happiness — ease comfort, Security — is impossible in a system where healing is a luxury and sickness is a profit center.

I was raised in a household where 'conservative' was an understatement. I carried an NRA card and voted for Pat Buchanan. When I went back and re-read the Founders, I realized we’ve lost what 'Happiness' meant. It isn’t watered down Locke, it’s Adams’ Ease, Comfort, and Security.

The founders understood something we've forgotten: political liberty and economic justice aren't separate issues. You can't have real freedom when a few people hoard the labor of millions.

True Americanism transcends socialism & capitalism—those words didn't exist in 1776.
Paine: "All accumulation of personal property beyond what a man's own hands produce is derived from living in society, and he owes part back again."
Economic justice isn't foreign ideology. It's founding principle.

Conservatives keep calling economic justice "socialism."
But John Adams said government should commuicate "ease, comfort & security." Paine said concentrated wealth creates social debt.
These are founding principles, not foreign ideology. Sometimes the best argument is their own.

The Founders identified the dangers of concentrated power and economic desperation. They just didn’t fully resolve them. Respecting their legacy means completing their logic — not pretending the work was done in 1789.

Before we were divided into ideologies, Americans were forged around a simpler idea: that fellow citizens are kindred, not competitors.

There is no economic value without labor.
Wealth is accumulated control over human time.
Hoarding it breaks both democracy and math.
