In order to accomplish an in depth study and prove and that we have created a new form of slavery upon ourselves I will start by defining a term in the topic sentence. In order to understand why we are slaves we have to look at the definitions of slavery. Wikipedia states as a definition of slavery: Slavery is a legal system facilitating exploitation of labor. Political economies permit slavery through government and social sanction. Under slavery a worker (called "a slave") is compelled to work for another (sometimes called "the master" or "slave owner").[1] Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all cultures and continents.[2] Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase, or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages) in return for their labour. As such, slavery is one form of unfree labor. Today, slavery is formally outlawed in nearly all countries, but the phenomenon continues to exist in various forms around the world.[3][4]
Today freedom from slavery is an internationally recognised human right. Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.[5]
Wikipedia goes on to say: In its narrowest sense, the word "slave" refers to people who are treated as the property of another person, household, company, corporation or government. This is referred to as chattel slavery.[14] The 1926 Slavery Convention described slavery as "...the status and/or condition of a person over who any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised..." Slaves cannot leave an owner, an employer or a territory without explicit permission (they must have a passport to leave), and they will be returned if they escape. Therefore a system of slaveryas opposed to the isolated instances found in any societyrequires official, legal recognition of ownership, or widespread tacit arrangements with local authorities, by masters who have some influence because of their social and/or economic status and their lives.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines forced labour as "all work or service which is extracted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily", albeit with certain exceptions of: military service, convicted criminals, emergencies and minor community services.[15]
Now I will take the example of a modern citizen in any democratic society to see if the citizen fits in the description of a slave. As the ILO defines all work or service which is extracted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily", Is it not that part of your income that is paid as a tax a service which is extracted under the menace of a penalty(prison if you dont pay the percentage of the money you earned)? now tell me which citizen has voluntarily offered himself to work for his government? I know I havent! I think that no one in the right mind would accept to work for the government (i.e. pay taxes) voluntarily and that by being menaced by the penalties of non compliance to conform you immediately fall into the definition of slavery provided by the ILO . I argue that this is the exact definition of modern slavery. If I take the argument that you pay taxes for services rendered by the government such as roads hospitals or any other form of public means used by an individual i find my argument even more compelling. Because in this manner you force upon a citizen who comes into society a burden he may not wish to accept. By this I mean that if I decide not to pay taxes I should be deprived of the public gains for which I dont contribute to. However this is not the case as you are forced by law to abide to the tax regulations or you will be sent to prison for stealing from the government. Well that is forced labor. Because first you dot have a choice about which services you want to accept and which not and then because we all know that if you dont work you cant have means to sustain yourself and your family. So when u go to work to cover your needs you are also forced by the menace to pay part of your income as a tax to a third party i.e. the government. So since the choice isnt given and you are therefore forced to labor for a third party under the menace of a penalty you fall under the definition of a slave!! Off course if someone voluntarily pay taxes then this person is not a slave by definition but I surely would question his intellectual ability.
Now if we take the broad definition of slavery given by lovely wikipedia we can see that the citizen of any country of the world fits exactly in the description of a slave from the point of ownership of a human being by a third entity. This is because the legal system facilitating exploitation of labor is the government. Under slavery a worker (called "a slave") is compelled to work for another in our case you are compelled to work for your government. If we combine this with the further definition given: Slaves cannot leave an owner, an employer or a territory without explicit permission (they must have a passport to leave) and we then see that we are issued passports and require permission from our governments to travel then we can easily see how we are owned by our governments, because otherwise we wouldnt need a passport or even permission to leave our country.
In the constitutions of the countries under common law we see that taxes and dues on income are forbidden and are only allowed against legal entities and not persons. However through an elicit way of laws and regulations these governments have obliged their citizens to waive their rights as persons and become legal entities for the laws and tax laws to apply to each person living in that country. Under contact law a contact which its terms are not understood or were not accepted or were imposed on one party of the contact by the other against their will is unenforceable. So since you havent accepted the terms of taxation and you surely do not completely understand them as those who are in the business dont understand them thoroughly and legal terms that are unknown to the public are used this contract of employment(since you work for the government by paying taxes) should be unenforceable by law. In addition in Canada there is a wide spread movement called free man on the land however this has been accomplished as the legal framework permits the individual to seek to be named as free man on the land and not a citizen of Canada as a citizen has achieved the legal standing of a legal entity and hence laws and regulations enacted through statutes do apply. Have you ever wondered why you are obliged by law to register your child with the government??? Well in Canada you are not obliged and the registration of a child to a government gives legal standing to the government over you. You therefore become a legal entity by waiver since you waive your rights of person and accept to be a legal entity under law hence all laws and statutes apply by simple waiver of the terms of contract. You therefore have accepted becoming party to the contract of labor mentioned above by waiving your rights. Just a simple way of how governments have enacted slavery without going against common law basics.
In jurisdictions where common law doesnt have jurisdiction these arguments dont exist. However I am starting an attempt to find legal holes in the system and seek to pursue my arguments through court to attempt and give a legal standing at least in my country of the concepts of compulsory taxation and in general the compulsory compliance of regulations the individual citizen has never chosen to partake in.
How should the political scene look and what political scheme should we adopt as the most efficient and effective for sustaining individual liberties whilst achieving the best for society as a whole.
I will start by sharing some personal learning experiences to show an intricacy of logic that is common ground for all logical people. The first comes from when I was young and despised many wrongs of the world and society. So whenever I started a discussion at home about I dont like this or dont like that or this is wrong my dad always presented me with the next step. He said ok so you think this should change ok so you say this is wrong how will you improve it how will you make it better? The bottom line being that it is easy to sit back and say I dont like this I dont like that but when it comes to implementing a way or strategy to overcome what we dont like things get tough. The second comes from my bad grades in high school. I used to tell my dad but I studied but I read but my teacher didnt like me but but but. He always used to tell me RESULT what is the result? I dont care if you studied for ten years or ten minutes did you pass your test thats all I care about. Now it is worthy to mention here that even attempts with the failed result also have value as the attempt on its own is a sign of effort and will. However in politics and in governments as a free man that elects people to perform services for the better being of myself and all in my country I expect results not effort. Its like having the CEO of a company going to its shareholders and saying you know I tried to sell x but failed but I tried they say ok we tried you as a CEO and failed so your fired. There are lines of business in which we do not accept effort only results and governments efforts are immaterial to me I only care about their results. Without being irrational by expecting unattainable things but by rather expecting the success of the logical goals set forth in the beginning. So on these two accepted ways of thought and problem solving I will attempt to create a political plane that will work for the benefit of the people and that will work efficiently effectively and for a better future for us all. Now who am I to do what no one has ever accomplished through human history il say no one im a spec of sand on an endless beach but as a spec in infinity I still have common logic and thats all thats needed. Now am I the first to have common knowledge surely not but of the leaders of the world no one wants to share simple and common logic for their power would fade rapidly. I do not seek power I do not seek recognition im here to analyze logically and propose a state of government that will ensure individual freedoms, will not allow corruption, will be for the benefit of the general public and not the few, will be in accordance with nature and in respect for it and finally a system in which we will not be slaves. Therefore my idea is to create a system where the government will work for the people and not the people for the government. I find it disgusting that we have accepted to work for any government. Why in the hell should I create an entity that guides my life that acts as my parent and that I am compelled to work for? I dont need such a government and i think that whoever does is either stupid or part of the elite that gains from the way the system works. Its simple although it needs more work but the basic idea was underlined above. That is a government acting as any other business but with its mission statement being : to do anything and all In its powers to improve life, promote individual freedoms and provide necessary elements for a sustainable living for all citizens. Politicians will be liable for their actions to the people just as any manager in a corporation to the shareholders. The government will be obliged to create income for its expenses. The government will not be able to create income from the people by taxing them but only from legal businesses operated on such as exports such as services and such as goods. In this manner it will be the obligation of any politician in power to create income for the people not from the people. And the laws governing these public businesses will be the same as those for private industries and businesses. A logical argument here would be that private entities would find it impossible to compete with the public entities due to lack of resources. But as a citizen if a citizen can get the same good or service by the government cheaper we gain as a society. We might not gain individually against others but more uniform gain is attained. The purpose of government business will not be to take over all businesses through competition but rather find a balance between creating its own income and competing in a healthy environment. In this way the government will not be a burden on the people but it would rather work for its benefit and this is why we created governments in the first place. With these resources/ incomes all governmental expenses must be paid for. If there are additions needed the people can voluntarily help according to their wishes and their ability. When the expenses are more than the incomes than the politicians will be personably liable as said before whoever wishes will help the government but it is the governments responsibility to be able to stand on its own. (this would be a good criteria for a successful government i.e. if they made it or not). And also why should I be forced to pay for something someone else uses when this responsibility should fall on the government?? The governments purpose should be to produce income to sustain public expenditure without relying on the income of its people. Otherwise why in the hell do we have a government?? I do not accept that the only financial purpose of the government is to decide and distribute according to the needs, income derived from the people, as we could achieve the same result with accountants. Its the governments obligation to work for the people and not having the people work for the government. We made x we spent y and we profited w or we lost p and deal accordingly. More income more gains as a country less income less expenses for the people. Specific goals will be set and the people in government will have to achieve their goals or fail to leave others to pick up. No one guarantees the success but we are not guaranteed the success more by any form of government we see in our modern world today instead I see constant failure. This is the first draft a brainstorming of the concept not all parameters have been thought of this surely isnt the in depth analysis I seek to create but rather a starting point. I expect you my friends to comment on my views express opinions and correct me where im wrong. at the end of the day this effort is not for personal satisfaction but rather for the creation of a new system that will be just and work for our benefit and not for the benefit of those in power!! We are all leaders and we need take out that aspect of ourselves and stop accepting other humans as our leaders and deciders of the way we are supposed to live. Slavery has been abolished on paper we need to abolish it however in the world we live in today!! Hope you enjoyed

so when they work to generate income and their goal is to overcome necessary expenditure just as the expenditure we have today and i would say even more! lets pay politicians more than ceo's of oil companies so they have the insentive to pull all strings back up and stop corruption!!! with no corruption, no un necessary expenditure and a government that must generate its own income every economy will flurish!!!
