If you worked 40 hours a week and were only allowed to keep 30% of your wages, would you consider yourself a free person or a slave?

The 2016 autiste term is wagecuck.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

That depends. Does 30% of your wages allow you live a lavish lifestyle and enjoy all the comforts money can buy, or does 30% of your wages mean you're living in a leaky hovel by the railroad tracks and you can barely afford spit?

Oh, let me count the ways your analogy is stupid....am I beaten daily for the color of my skin, am I treated like cattle, am I literally manacled, are my feet hobbled to prevent me from running away, can I leave my home at will or not...is my family ripped apart because my Master believes my wife would bear more children with another man for breeding purposes, was I transported to my abode with 300 of my fellow countrymen over 3 weeks passage chained to one another...etc, etc....do I really need to go on, or can we stop with the insipidly stupid taxes = slave or taxes = theft..

The wage you are actually paid is a compilation of all the benefit of working in that job.
This would include all sorts of other benefits and disadvantages associated with that job.
Where you live to do the job, is one of those things. How much your currency is worth in a market is another.
There are also disadvantages to a job that should be considered.
Tell me friend, would you take a job that paid a million dollars an hour if the job was shutting down an out of control nuclear power plant that has already passed the point of someone surviving the job for more than five minutes?


Have you paid your internet taxes?

Lots of people work 40hrs a week and end up with nothing after all the bills are paid. I'd love to pocket 30%

Former slave owners have realized that paying low wages is better than owning slaves

You have to house, feed, clothe a slave. That costs money

Pay an employee a paltry wage, let them pay for their own housing, food, clothing and everything else. They'll end up broke anyway, like a slave

Poor wifi is a definite deal breaker...

Let's see rent runs 40% of wages, medical, don't even ask, transportation includes car payments, insurance, fuel and upkeep 25%, food 15%, communications 4%, entertainment, 4%, food 25%, looks like the food bank is feeding you and the fat cat politician doesn't give a ratz azz what you think.

They get free medical, perks from the government such as living expanses, free transportation, medical and a nice hefty retirement after just four years of service. But worry none cause the lobbyist are constantly making some sweet room deals that will insure these politicians have a cushy job doing nothing but collecting fees for just showing up and talking to a bunch of fat cats making money and living the 1% lifestyle of the rich and famous.

The rest of us can live la Vida loca hoping no disaster comes our way.

No one is surprised that democratic voters worry about rent.
