What does single ownership have to do with anything? Is it somehow better than any number of people can spend your life for you?
What other compulsory actions does the government take that authorize the expenditure of your entire life?

Is it somehow better than any number of people can spend your life for you? // No, it's not automatically better AFAICT, in practice I think it's likely to better on average. It's more that it was claimed to be "slavery" in actuality, not "like slavery" but actual slavery. So it's in some ways semantic but more it's that I think the position is substantially different to slavery - it's not just that it's a group of people, it's that it's a democratic country that you are also part of (as opposed to a corporation owning you, or an individual owning you). They're different conditions. In practice they perhaps share some [a lot of] downsides.
