That isn't slavery... That is called getting a job.
Thank you. Finally, somebody understands. We are all tax slaves. "Slave" is an objective term that changes. The modern translations of the bible often use the word "slave." Don't look at the word by your definition; look at the word through various biblical passages. Doing this you will find that servitude (or "slavery") in the bible isn't modern slavery at all; but as frankiej put it, a "job."
