The government considers itself the "owner" of us. It does so by claiming it can tell us what to do with our bodies, minds, and lives. Buy claiming it has any authority to tell people whom they may marry, what medicines they may take, whom they may have sex with, etc.

Also, slavery has always been the forceful taking of the fruits of someone's labor against their will. That is EXACTLY what income taxation is. It's the forceful taking of the fruits of our labor without our consent and against our will. If you don't think it's forceful, try not paying it and guys with guns will show up to take you away.

Most people in America work for 5-6 months as a slave to the U.S. Government.

Nobody who is alive today owes anything ot people who are the decendants of slaves. Every race has been enslaved at some point in history. How far back should we go? 200 years? 500? 1000? 2000?
