Consider a variable 'M' which stands for a person or group of people and the variable PSC (Product, Service, Cash) which represents that entity, and the variable P which stands for people who can Provide PSC. I will use the variable G to represent a group of people who have the legal right to force, generally governments, sometimes not.
If M desires PSC (who doesn't?) and G Forces P to provide PSC to M, that is defined in this society as slavery.
Example:
M = plantation owner
PSC = cotton
P = slaves
G = government
That sorry period in American history when the above was considered an OK practice was what this country fought a Civil War over. The North defeated the South (well, that is what the history books tells us, my apologies to anyone out there who believes otherwise. :-) ) and slavery was abolished, at least that kind.
That was considered immoral and bad. It was also an outrageously impractical method to get cotton. Much better methods were discovered when the 'easy' method was abolished.
OK, consider the following:
M = People
PSC = Health Care
P = Doctors, Nurses
G = Government.
If the government forces care-providers to give health care to people, how is that different than slavery? It isn't. This country is attempting to turn doctors, brain surgeons, nurses, etc. into slaves. This is why nationalized health care doesn't work...ANYWHERE.. It is immoral and very impractical. Every country that has tried it claims that it "works", well, we still got cotton, didn't we, but that didn't make it right.
Again,
M = People
PSC = Cash
P = Working People
G = Government
Whatever you want to call the above, it doesn't escape the fact that it makes slaves out of every working person in this country. It's called income tax, which is completely wrong. It's actually a wage tax. Income is legally defined as a profit from a corporate operation. Wages are NOT income, it's a trade. You trade your time and effort to a company for money. Enough said. Wage taxes are immoral because slavery is immoral. At one time, slavery was legal, right now wage tax is legal, someday I hope it is not.
Now we must be careful to tell this to anyone, it will upset a great many people because there are a lot of them in the 'M' class. For instance, if we consider PSC to be Health Care in the form of Medicare and you attempt to tell a person who either directly benefitied from Medicare or whose relative did, you will get your head chopped off (literally) as they will claim that either they or their relative would have been far worse off if the practice did not exist (we still got cotton didn't we?).
If you were transported back into the mid-1800's and told a plantation owner or anyone who benefitied from slavery, you run the risk of disappearing forever. They were so convinced that they were right, no argument in the world would convince them otherwise, that is why a war resulted. It took awhile, but the practice was so heinous and destroyed the lives of so many people, a war was the only way to stop it.
Let no one tell you that in various forms today, slavery exists and is legal. This is not right, it is immoral and remember, that are are always alternatives to the use of force. It's just that people cannot seem to see beyond using the government to solve their wishes and desires.
It is common knowledge that you cannot force people to think. It's one thing to use slaves to pick cotton, which isn't the most complex task in the world, it's frightening to think that we are going to and alreay have slaves that are supposed to do extremely complex tasks.
Taxes are immoral because they turn people into slaves and slavery is immoral. Simple logic, but very few Americans see it that way, as logic is one thing that isn't taught, ah yes...
M = children
PSC = education
P = people
G = state, local and federal government
It's not that teachers are slaves, they are more like the plantation owners. They directly benefit from taxes collected to pay their salaries, and of course, they think that's just fine.
It's time to stop slavery in this country, ALL slavery of every kind.
