And if the government says that all your earnings and your children are to be confiscated and you are to be sold into chattel slavery well then so be it because after all, we are bound to the government.

Let me addendum this. Chattel slavery did not end with the war between the states. Only the conditions changed. Now we are all in chattel slavery to the government (apparently just the way you want it) as we do not have the freedom to leave the unnion, even if all the citizens of our state want to leave.
