I am not sure what a “wage slave” is, unless that means a hired worker whose job and life has been so nosed into by a nanny, taxing government (and by union bullies who have gone way beyond their legitimate function) that his or her job becomes near unprofitable. Please, Massa, make me a wage slave, it beats the hell out of being unemployed... unless I can start my own business, but then I become a sales slave....
