Really?
What planet are you living on?
Americans who WORK for a living are slaves of the DC apparatus that extorts money from their paychecks under penalty of imprisonment and monitors their every move.
The working man in this country is no longer free, but a slave to the former slaves, who instead of being repatriated remained in this nation and allied themseleves with Jews, Communists, and homosexuals in a mission to invade every institution and make non-compliance with their poltically correct ideology a crime.
Hard working tax paying Americans are indeed slaves of the political class who confiscates their wealth and redistributes it to the former slaves and foreign invaders.
I'd rather pick cotton and be guaranteed 3 squares and a roof over my head that have my hard earned money stolen from me by a bunch of degenrate beauracrats and faggots.
Just as the slaveholders were parasites, we have parasites today in the form of a welfare class who, like the slaveholder class, are trapped in a culture of dependency. I discussed that in post 170 (above).
It took a powerful external force to free slaveholders from their addiction to slavery and it will take a powerful force to free the modern welfare class from their addiction to welfare. Freeing folks from dependency and addiction is never easy and the addicts never like it at first, but ultimately, if they can regain their independence and self-respect, they wind up grateful to those who forced them to change. We have work to do in this country today.
So, yes, you're right, we are victimized by parasites today. And, it is a burden we should not be forced to bear. However, that said, I'm certainly living much better than did any of the real slaves. ;-)
No, you wouldn't. Working sunup to sundown in the southern summer is no joke, and nobody who could avoid it would ever volunteer, and certainly not for subsistence only.
I understand how hyperbole works, but let's not get carried away.
"When I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him."
Will you throw in your children and your children's children?
