You mean how the government can take your children away from you through Child Protection Services? But that's a detail. Governments do sell our children away

You mean how the government can take your children away from you through Child Protection Services?
But that's a detail. Governments do sell our children away quite literally, which is why young people entering the market now pay for health benefits for the elderly - because the State is too incompetent to properly manage the money those elders put in themselves when they were working.
Try another argument. Good one though.

- mturmon 12y agoI'm trying to parse your second paragraph. You are saying that governments "literally" sell our children. The reason you give is that young people are paying taxes that support Medicare, i.e., health care for senior citizens? I think your argument is that these taxes (1.45%, currently) are "literally" the equivalent of slavery?
- innguest 12y agoThanks for asking for clarification. I did not phrase that well. I'm arguing that when we (taxpayers in the US) go in debt ($18 trillion + $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities) that means we are borrowing from future generations which will then be forced to pay for something they never voted for. I see you like numbers. The numbers I point out above are a little scarier than your "1.45%" but nice try.
