Slavery is ripe in your face. You just choose not to look at it.

Its not close to slavery but the middle class being eroded these days is awful.

impossible to get ahead with a family in school etc. its sickening to hear the pin heads talk these days

our middle class has been gutted out , carved out , eaten away , chipped at, spit out and thrown to the curb

Anymore snake oil up your sleeve? Cause savings in this country depreciated rapidly after the housing bubble. Why? Because most of American's were tied up in faulty prices of housing asset. The bubble popped and who was left with the bill while the bankers got rich?

Get lost. I have not time for people like you.

Do you consider wealth on paper! That money that was in my 401k was quickly gone in a flash.

Translation: Are you fool?

I don't know who you are asking, but for someone who walks into that kind of situation deserves what they get.

If you don't pay the tax (registration on your vehicle) you still own it.
Not true for your home.

See the difference in "ownership"?

Now this I can agree on. And why is it, so few people see that and why is it, if one speaks of it, they are termed, crazy...conspirator?

Slavery does exists. The word was just redefined, that's all.
