Upgrade Available: U S Constitution

***


1

In Philadelphia today, a small group is rewriting the Constitution.  The original of course begins this way:


We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The new version will begin thus:



We the Very Rich People of the United States,


in order to create greater division among our fellow Americans
   and form a more perfect Union among ourselves,
to establish control of the Justice system to our Benefit
   and the Subordination of Others,
to promote Unrest among the Others
   and insure our own Domestic Tranquility,
to provide for the Defence of our Property and interests,
to promote the Luxury of the Very Rich,
and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our heirs,


do ordain, establish, and hide this Upgraded Constitution for the USA.
