Two things: first, my understanding is that "life, liberty, and property" were the original words of the Declaration of Independence, but were changed from "property" to "the pursuit of happiness." I'll bet Milei knows that.

Second, you never know where things will go. I remember sending messages to a friend on the nascent Internet in the early 'eighties via the "mail" client, all text. Look at it now. The reason nobody can get ahead in the United States is that, for the common man, at least 80% of everything he earns goes to some form of tax. Yes, it's that high. If Trump starts a "Gub'ment Efficiency" department, especially with Elon at the helm, it just may be the fluttering butterfly that starts the hurricane. We can always hope.
