There are multiple ways to become a slave such as from the spoils of war where the conquered people were take by the conquerors and made to work for them for short or long periods of time. One could also be born into this condition my having a mother that was also a slave. In either method of becoming a slave 100% of your toil belonged to your owner or master whom in turn allowed you to keep a very small amount to live on. So a fair definition of being a slave was how much of your toil you can keep and obviously if you keep less the half you are more slave than free.
Slavery is not practical today because of technology and the fact that salves are not all that productive as they have no incentive to work hard for obvious reasons. So today the rulers have to find other ways to get their slaves to work for them. One way is to create the illusion of freedom and that is the method currently (past 50 years) being implemented in Western Civilization which consists of the: European Union, Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Mexico and most of Central and southern America. However this is a diverse list of countries and most are not actually democracies even though they claim they are.
The reason they are not free and may actually be more slave than free is that most, if not all, have effective tax rates close to 50% or more of their hours worked. These taxes are in many forms from simple sales taxes though special taxes like that on gasoline and other forms of energy to Income taxes. But most forget that companies that make things and provide services to you must also pay taxes on property inventory and profits which are all passed on to consumers through higher prices that the companies must charge to consumers or go out of business. When all the taxes are added up the Tax load on the consumers in the United States today is probably over $6.0 trillion dollars which is around 36% of the GDP of the country.
So one could say that what is the problem we are only 36% slave and 64% free and that would be mostly true; however the problem with this simple view is that the various governments have promised things beyond what they can pay for, especially the federal government, so they borrow money and as they borrow more and more they pull money out of the private sector which puts a drag on growth which than forces the government to borrow more and we have been in this cycle for almost 20 years now. Social Security and other entitlements both public and private will drive the effective tax load over 50% before 2020 unless the process can be stopped. There is only one way to stop this conversion of a free people into debt slaves to their governments and that is to elect Donal J. Trump President of the United States.
The truth of this statement is in the introduction given to Mr. Trump at his rally at the Cleveland I-X center at the Cleveland airport on March 12, 2016 by Pastor Darrell Scott of New Spirit Revival Center Ministries who being of African decent knows what the yoke of slavery is better than most and so when a man like this sees the truth in the direction we are going in I would say that we need to listen to him very closely. Although the Democrat’s have been the worst at enslaving us the current crop of elected republicans are not any better and so as Trump runs his campaign he is attacked very hard by his parties operators and donors in an attempt to prevent him from gaining the nomination of his party. Do not let this happen or you will be a debt slave to the various world governments by 2020.
Listen to what Pastor Scott as to say and I would do as he recommends if I were you.
