It becomes more and more apparent to me that our national economy is based on slavery. Such has been true more a great many human societies over thousands of years. America was established, in large part, in an effort to find a new way of structuring a national economy -- basing our social contract on freedom and personal responsibility.
Today, the government has a gun to my head and hisses, "If you don't pay for the support of others, people are going to die in the streets. You don't want people dying in the streets, do you Punk?"
That's the sign of a slave-based economy.
