sounds like slavery to me.

Slavery is another way of saying "100% tax rate."

Wrong!

Elderly slaves, who could no longer do productive work, were provided free room and board for the remainder of their lives -- at a zero percent tax rate!.

What we have now is in certain ways far worse than slavery.

Maybe if "the institution of slavery" had been managed by accountants and MBA types, it would have resembled what we have today.
