They do. Because at current, corporations (aka private prisons) are allowed to own slaves, but I as an individual am not. We can either increase freedom by banning anyone from owning slaves or increase freedom by allowing anyone to own slaves.
- dkuntz2 12y agoActually, allowing anyone to own slaves is not an increase in freedoms, it's a net decrease in freedom.
- Lawtonfogle 12y agoAs long as the number of current slaves does not increase (anymore than it would have anyways), it would lead to more freedom.
