Involuntary Servitude

While a large majority of people, maybe all, are against involuntary servitude in theory. Few are against it in practice. Slavery is clear cut. However, how about involuntary servitude as only a percentage of slavery? Supporting freedom is the opposite of slavery. Many will say they’re for freedom, but will begin to make excuses as soon as the issue is reduced. “To understand ourselves we must understand it; but to climb higher, we must them climb over and beyond it.”

Let’s reduce the issue a bit. Suppose one human owns another. The slave master tells the slave he is free. He is free to work any job and can change jobs. But there is a caveat, the freed slave must send back a portion of his income to the slave master. Would he think he has been freed? No, he would still consider himself a slave. What if the income he sends back to the master is less than half? He is still a slave, working for the master for less than half of the year.
