You saying you don't get a paycheck every two weeks, I do? And a refund every year. So no, no one owns me. I can quit working anytime I want...

Mad, frankly Esto yes...I am. It takes a lot to get a rise out of me, but this shit..yeah it does...you're talking some academic discussion and attempting to link it one of humanity's worst crimes..

I think it's low of you to try...yes...I do
I'll ask again.

So what is the definition of owning a man's productivity by force?
The consent of the governed. You are free to exit.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I have left but ....actually you are not free to exit...it costs money...and if you have any decent wealth it costs real money...AND if you leave you are still on the hook for taxes anywhere in the world no matter where you earned...

U.S. and Eritrea are the only two countries that tax based on both residence and citizenship. Other countries tax worldwide income of residents, but not citizens living elsewhere.

Excellent. Taxes are a universal concept. A necessary evil for the function of government collected from those benefiting from it. The people surrender a portion of there liberty in order to gain something off value.

When every other country except Eritrea (who the US Chastised their tax policies) allows you to be free to leave?

No. So you would cheerfully point out that taxation is universal and not at all considered slavery but rather a necessary component of civil society. Go ahead and argue about rates and what should be taxed. But arguing about whether it is slavery or not is stupid.

Yes
Governments figured out that owning a person and keeping them on a plantation was inefficient. Productivity losses, rebellion, upkeep - instead let the person roam around an arbitrary plantation - think they are free and confiscate their productivity via taxation.
