In our legal system, the pursuit of happiness is codified as the pursuit of money. Locke's phrase was 'life, liberty, and property.' Jefferson introduced a sort-of radical twist to it, but in practice we've pretty much done it Locke's way. You can have all the food you want, and a neighborhood with a good water system, up on a hill out of the smog. You just need money. All your other rights are dependent on that.
