If you look at the definition of slavery: a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another or a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person.
Have we made ourselves slaves?
Now before we go on, I personally prefer the free-enterprise system. The sad part of it all is that as problems keep arising, the lazier are looking for easy answers such as making laws to control our lives, even pricing of products and services at the lowest level. Is Big Brother coming?
“Anyway, the system breaks, there are 100,000 people, there are 100,000 cherries. One person or small group has 99,999 of the cherries and lets say that 99,000 people have to share or are clamoring for their share of that last cherry.”
To prevent social unrest and to allow the average citizen to have a fair chance at their personal “Pursuit of Happiness”. Our forefathers, and many good people and legislatures along the way, knew that we have to have a fair system of checks and balances that we make into laws and rules for government of our democratic free enterprise system. Maybe even designed to prevent the above cherry situation from happening.
As we look at the governance of our nation it seems that the balance of power has shifted against the society as a whole and it seems that our Government has partnered with some industries , becoming no longer our government but a partner to some institutions, and they may be removing some of those checks and balances for private gain of a few at a cost that will be paid by millions that will receive little if any benefit.
Scary stuff, does that make us slaves?
