I prefer "Life, Liberty, Property". The "pursuit of happiness" bit is much too vague in my opinion.
Oh yeah,like that ISN'T going to be used to protect slavery!

Mori aut Liberos Vivere is Live Free or Die in Latin.
I disagree with your assessment. Even at the time of the revolution, this was a diverse country. Germans, English, Irish, Scots, French, and soon after more. Clearly, this was a nation of many peoples melding to become one from the start.
Given the current trends in US politics
Pecunia regnit
might make a lot of sense.

Perhaps this?

Property is a basic fundamental right.
Ownership of one's self is necessary for all other rights.
The US didn't actually have a national motto until 1954,despite many good contenders,with both e pluribus unum and novo ordus seclorum appearing on American currency. "In God we Trust" was selected in 1956,after a big protest by Conservative and religious groups.
E Pluribus Unum. "From many, one"
I like this not only because it is already a motto the US uses, it has a variety of meanings, all positive and accurate: It reflects the origins and structure of the US as a federation of states, and also acknowledges and celebrates the fact that Americans come from all parts of the world and have become part of a single, diverse, "American" nation.
