The Declaration of Independence is not a document of law.

Exact same weak ass mother fucking thread as yesterday.
In America people have the right to the pursuit happiness.
Pursuit being the keyword
You misunderstand what rights are. A right simply means the government will not get in your way. The right to free speech doesn't mean the government has to pay for a stage and microphone for you to talk to people, it means you pay for these things yourself and say whatever you want, and the government will not arrest you for what you say. The right to bear arms doesn't mean the government will supply you with guns, it means you go out and pay for your own guns and the government will not be able to take them away from you provided you follow the law in regards to gun ownership.

There is government hosuing and food stamps. I have been homeless though and I was still happy. I lived in a van for all of college.

Correct. When the DoI says that, it is advocating for a system in which the rights and dignity inherent to all people are respected by the rule of law, and people therefore have the opportunity to pursue their own happiness unrestrained by unnecessary government intervention.
But OP is a fucking leaf and probably cant understand that.

Because the goddamn puritans werent promised that. The goddamn colonists werent promised that. However, xth generation white americans arent promised either. However, blacks were promised that (have to feed your work force, now we just gibsemdat)
So fuck you, theres no such things as guarantees of safety. Come over here and make your safety you fucking rakebait

Pursue, not necessarily achieve.
You don't have to be poor and starving, but it is no one else's fault if you are.
Fuck off statist.
