Slave works all days, master enjoys the fruits of his labor.
Why do the liberals adore such scheme?

Alex, I'm going to keep saying this until you answer me. Who exactly is this 'liberal' you talk about and why would he (I) want a slave and master system? If you have a point to make, why not make it, instead of another pointless and senseless tirade against the 'liberal' with nothing to back up what you say.



Wiki:



"Liberalism is a broad class of political philosophies that considers individual liberty and equality to be the most important political goals.[1]



Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. Within liberalism, there are various streams of thought which compete over the use of the term "liberal" and may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for constitutional liberalism, which encompasses support for: freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, an individual's right to private property,[2] and a transparent system of government.[3][4][5] All liberals, as well as some adherents of other political ideologies, support some variant of the form of government known as liberal democracy, with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law.[6]"



So what is it you really mean? Or are you just trolling?

No. There is no redistribution of wealth. Master owns slave. Master bought slave. Slave had no wealth, only labor.



Liberals worked to abolish slavery. Conservatives wanted to keep it.

Actually, a better example for redistribution of wealth would be the country of Denmark/Sweden. You are able to go to college for free, free health care, etc. The only. and biggest, problem is that that tax is about 50%.

Slaves can't be armed.

Slaves can't speak their mind. (except in free speech zones)

Slaves can't have privacy. (monitoring of phone, email, and internet habits)

Slaves have no control over their own bodies (what they can put into them).



Look around you, Champ. We are ALL slaves, and have been for a long time.

They really do; the worker pays higher and higher tax, often for the benefit of those in lofty positions, or even staying home unemployed.

The same, in an eerie way..

Really examine some of the new laws being passed.
