Mod parent up. The United States has NEVER gotten over its plantation/slave owner mentality. It's too deeply embedded in the collective unconscious to be calmly refuted--it's so close to the bone that it has to be vehemently, hysterically denied. It goes together with the inability of the United States' public to comprehend risk pools. And not only workers are enslaved, but you entrepreneurs are also, because the state requires you to administer a social program that the government is in a far better position to administer: health insurance (private insurance could then be purchased for more benefits). But forcing businesses to do this is a huge chunk of the deficit, incredibly economically inefficient and is forcing companies to outsource labor. Your new slave owners are the prisons and the insurance companies.
