So are you a slave? You have been managed like one. And if we respond like slaves, the answer to this question doesn't matter. I'm not sure slavery has ever been so fiscally cheap and the enslaved so unaware. With that sliver of a penny we house ourselves, we feed, educate, clothe and entertain ourselves. And our children, "when the offspring are old enough""

The price of a slave today is $90.00, just before the Civil war started a slave cost $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 in todays dollars. This is only possible because "workers" have almost no "value" in the American economy or most of the world's economy. So are we slaves I ask? You'll have to answer for yourselves.
