Pledge of Allegiance:
with liberty and justice for all [rich people].
Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [who are rich] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness [for rich people].
4th Amendment Text:
The right of the [rich] people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures
5th Amendment:
No [rich] person shall be . . . deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law . . …
6th Amendment text:
In all criminal prosecutions, the [rich] accused shall . . . and to have the Assistance of [good] Counsel for his defence.
