People argue that the system was rigged so no one but the already-rich, or someone born into wealth, can make any difference in this country or even rise up to a higher income bracket. Think you saved up? Tax time. Think you earned enough to cover that too? Lost your job.

OK so the system is rigged. How does that make this person a slave? Slaves don't have independence and mobility. They can't do whatever they want with their time. They are someone's property. They work and don't get paid.
