Equality/Inequality and Freedom/Serfdom lie on two different although not fully independent axes. One can be a rich slave - by not having any political freedoms.
- cycomanic 6y agoThe OP made an economic argument about 100% taxes and "slavery" not political freedoms, so your point is orthogonal. That said, while I agree that equality and freedom lie on different axes, I disagree with your point that one can be a rich slave, being a slave implies that you have neither economic nor political power (which are almost impossible to separate anyway).
