Years ago indentured servants were not uncommon in the U.S.A. Now it looks as if we are going to have upwards of 300 million of them once Congress resumes.

That's how my great grandfather emigrated to the USA in1863. He hired on as "ship's company" in exchange for his passage to America. He stepped off the ship without any debt. His next big employment gig was with the Union Army. That lasted until 1865.

Now it looks as if we are going to have upwards of 300 million of them once Congress resumes.

The 13th amendment ended slavery. The 16th amendment re-instated it. Get to work. Millions of welfare slobs are depending on your efforts.
