You can't get from paid wages to slavery full stop, they're mutually exclusive.

False. Examples of systems of slavery in which slaves are customarily remunerated are numerous, as are slaves who, while remaining slaves, grew filthy rich and vastly influential. The boundary between slavery and free man shifts a lot according to the instance, although slavery as found in the Christian world from 16th - 19th century were some of the most brutal ever instituted anywhere.
