Americans were sold into slavery and debt bondage decades ago.
Free stuff always seems to be an appealing reason to vote for politicians. 'We'll just raise taxes and make more programs for the common good',' Every family will save $2,5000 a year', 'Why do you care how we'll pay for it, I told you it's free'... they campaign. The saving never come and politicians have written a never-ending blank check for those who profit on the backs (labor, wages) of others.
Own some bit housing complexes, of public housing units? A never ending stream of new welfare recipients is sure to bring in record profits year after year. Any chance it will end? Worrying about the effects of a government shutdown? No worries, put the programs and tax increases/borrowing on autopilot. Tax, steal, and confiscate from working people, whet can't be taxed, just borrow, and enslave generations born and unborn. Offer more free stuff to confuse people. Some day all will live in a paradise like Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea. Profits never end when you're forcing others to pay for programs with blank checks.
Need more money? Expand the items that are considered human rights like free housing, food, medical care, transportation, phones, internet, shipping, (_____) fill in the blank. Any way to establish common sense controls over these human rights money pit/blank check programs?
Need more profits? Put the enslavement programs on autopilot and with unlimited borrowing power for the elite that never seem to run into financial difficulties. They continue to build bigger walls around their homes and require more security guards paid for by the little people who pay taxes and struggle to make ends meet every day. Paradise doesn't isn't available to everyone. Even when the human traffickers run out of other peoples money, it doesn't end. They put people on the march to steal from others. Invaders demand $50,000 to leave and go home. Is $50,000 the value to life to a human trafficker? Tough borders interfer with their profit model? The profit model of institutional investors that profit on housing vouchers and food stamps? How would these investors fair if they were forced to run their operations without profit? Pay for all the debt from their profits?
There is not never ending blank check for working American families, no relief program, no escape from generational poverty.
Slavery is the same through time and place. Families sell others for profit (Africa, Asia, Americas), greed and power (polititicians), conquest (wars), religion(think historic African slave ports, modern day infidels being considered less than believers).
Why isn't individual freedom at the top of the list of human rights along with the individual right to keep the fruit of one's labor? Why aren't the slave trader held accountable? Those selling their family members and others for profit?
"Human Trafficking by the Numbers"
https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/resource/human-trafficking-numbersIt ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - - modern slavery.”- President Barack Obama, September 25, 2012- 150 billion a year industry

Why does it seem acceptable for some to wake up every day thinking about how they can profit by consuming/stealing the labor of others? Stealing the labor of others has many forms - 'we need to raise taxes', '$50,000 and we'll go home', send more money or else?
Just my humble opinions and musings
