The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. That was back when there where debtors prisons and before bankruptcy laws.

No it still applies to today.
If you borrow you are slave to the lender until the debt is paid. The reason you make money is to pay off the debt you owe.
The borrower is slave to the lender!

This was even before debtor’s prison, in days when the lender could quite literally sell the debtor or his family into slavery.

You mean the 'new' bankruptcy laws that were written by the credit card companies themselves and made into law by the Republican controlled congress? They knew this was coming and are making a fortune, not off legitimate fees but off their new forms of usery which are now perfectly legal.
