Although I have done it myself, I don’t like the use of the analogy to slavery in this context.Your answer is a partial explanation of why. Also, the use reeks of a victim mentality and entitlement that has no shame in the face of real suffering and no pride in the face of our overwhelmingly favorable odds of increasing our individual lot or just enjoying our relative wealth by getting off our backsides.These values are much more destructive than taxes. Besides that we can always choose to be high minded ascetics, or take some other non-materialistic path, in order abolish this burden of debt.Poor me, poor me in America.
