First of all, the US Declaration of Independence was not a list of promises or laws. It was a series a grievances to justify the separation from England. The grievances had to do with government tyranny and oppression, and lack of proper representation, not that government wasn't providing enough. Second, the right to life merely means that no one has the right to take that from you. For example, the President can't simply send people to your home to kill you just because he doesn't like you. It does not mean that someone else is responsible for making sure you're alive. Yes, you need food, water and shelter to survive. However, since you do have the right to life, that means you have the freedom to go out and obtain those things. In some countries around the world, you don't. In fact, in some countries, if you try obtain any of that on your own, you get punished. Third, that article you posted was from August. Since then, more jobs have been created, especially within the last few months. Also, I learned something long ago since I have a background in art. I learned that If you can't find the job you want, or just find one, you have no other choice but to create one. That's really a key factor. People need to find a trade, something they're good at and then exploit it. That's basically how the modern internet got to where it was.

I guess you have a much more positive outlook on society than I do, it's not like millions of people are just going to be able to go and find jobs. If it was so simple, and so manageable, there wouldn't be so many unemployed people.

You're never going to have 0% unemployment. It's impossible. However, it should also be mentioned that people get jobs everyday while other people lose jobs everyday. So there are always jobs to go around. The important thing is to create jobs. Also, check this out.

The US unemployment rate is at an 18 year low.
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf
The current number of unemployed people in the US stands at 6.7 million while over 300,000 jobs were created in February alone (though that part is not mentioned in this particular report).
So finding a job isn't that hard right now.
