Weren't the slave owners generous people, since if it hadn't been for them, their slaves wouldn't have had...?

I can't believe how many people don't get it. Most people don't have the job they have because they want to. They are forced into employment through economic conditions. It is slavery, but instead of the threat of the whip, you have the threat of poverty and famine. It isn't different from the other argument, but they don't get it, because they still believe in the delusion that they are able to reach the top. They find it acceptable because they have been raised to believe it is acceptable. They have failed to take their own path. They are just another slave, unaware of the world as it is.

This is, by far, one of THE most asinine arguments I have ever had the displeasure of responding to.

Slaves were forced into slavery. That is - in and of itself - an indisputable difference against your, at best, flimsy and arrogant argument.

Also - to argue that "The rich" are generous people because they create jobs - is simple minded and naive. "The Rich" are a necessary part of our economy and they are good FOR our economy because, yes. Yes. They do create jobs. That is just how it is. That makes them neither generous nor greedy. That is a personal trait not to be assigned based on the wealth a person does or does not have.

I doubt the argument you've tried to make here would hold up in a tenth grade government class. My 12 year old could see the holes in this.

I have Answer for you if we go back in time wold you like to be MASTER or slaves? any way it is coming NWO are you going to be a master soppier reach all slave? I bat you know my fraind.

This is twisted logic. Yes, slaves did have the necessities for survival, but were treated poorly.

I don't see how that relates to the job market.

No one is better off as slave.

Wage Slavery is accepted by society because the general masses believe they will be the buisness. owner one day- which is a pipe dream the same pipe some poor people smoke crack cocaine with because they understand how america's capitlisitic society screws people like them over.

Because people desire jobs dummy.

Is this the new OWS line now. You people dont want to work because you fell like slaves so you will let others support you instead

Gosh you lefties are simply unbelievable! Losers!

ADD: Wow! SHe is being completely serious about this.....LOL!

nice try troll, but slavery is FAR different than employment

Slavery: the final stage of socialism.

And yes, blacks are better off being slaves in America.

Idiot, they would have still been Africa being slaves to to the other tribe.

Slaves were not stolen, they were sold by blacks.
