So flopper you think that is justification for slavery? What you are admitting is plantation owners were greedy and lazy. Ungodly lazy. In other words...pathetic. Thank you. If that's the way it was in those days then let's call slavery the darkest most heinous time in american history.
And yet you support slavery today! Progressives are greedy and lazy. They demand that government place a gun to the head's of conservatives and take by
force 60% of what our labor earned - and then hand it to progressives that don't want to work because they'd rather stay home watching tv and getting drunk or stoned.
That is the way it is today - so let's call progressivism the darkest, most heinous time in American history. Because it is.
did you just compare paying your taxes to slavery?
Paying taxes means money going to the constitutional responsibilities of the federal government which equally benefits
all (such as our military, our state department, our federal courts).
When you unconstitutionally confiscate money from one against their will and give it to someone else - that is the very definition of slavery. Based on your astoundingly ignorant comments on this thread, I can surmise that you don't even know this (and that you're very young and näive) but the U.S. Constitution explicitly limits the federal government to 18 enumerated powers and providing healthcare, food, housing, etc. is
not one of them. It is slavery in its purest form. Forcing people to labor against their will and then confiscating the fruits of those labor.
