Ending all forms of indenture eventually socialized the poor, and thus also the tax slaves to attend to them. OTOH, HERE is how Biblical servitude actually worked.

Imagine turning over everything you own to your servants for a year.
Better treat them well!

I can't make out what the expression "socialized the poor" means. Does it mean that "the poor" became a political constituency?
