Modern Day Slavery

Movie actor Wesley Snipes was convicted and recently sent to prison to serve time for failing to file his income tax returns. Here in the USA – the so-called land of the free and the home of the brave -- you can be imprisoned for not reporting your income and private business affairs to the government every year. There is no escape.

That sad story is just one example among many of how Americans are virtual slaves to the collective Authority! And the genius of it all is that we are not completely enslaved. The government doesn’t just demand all our loot, but instead has found the perfect balance between freedom and slavery for its hapless subjects as it sucks the juices from each golden goose just enough to obtain the most value possible without killing it or otherwise causing it to lose its incentive to produce more loot for the taking every year.
