“In short; the government has made itself the Company Store and, by force of law and the guns that back it up, we owe our souls to it.”
It will feel like it is our souls, but it won’t be.
They will wish to take everything we have, including our lives, but my soul is in the Lord’s hands where NO ONE can take it away.
TN Ernie Ford sang of the past, Sixteen Tons, as you mention is relevant. Ford did not see the future, or,... did he?
Your mention of the company store is quite realistic.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
