The problem I have with this article is that slaves, by definition, WORK!
This article talks about people who don't work. I'm not sure what they are but they sure aren't slaves. Pets perhaps?
If there are any slaves to be found, I believe it would be most useful to examine the list of taxpayers.
Who other than taxpayers work under the gun for those who have first claim on the first 50% of the labor of the working, and let the working keep what is left? That is slavery. 0.0% to 10% is a reasonable tax to support the functions of limited government. 50% is more than a bad deal, it is a slave tax. Who's crying for me?

Work for hire is a form of slavery. Not total slavery, but a sort of voluntary slavery to a generic master. Buy a house and car, leave your freedom at the gate. Fair trade.
