This is not directed at you personally Steve but to all those who subscribe without thinking about the consequences. All of the below you's are general:

Do you own a car? Did you make this car yourself? Did you make all the parts that go into this car?
Do you live in a house or apartment or something similar? Did you make this house yourself? Did you get all the material necessary through barter?
Do you wear clothes bought from a store? Or did you make all your clothes? Did you make the materials to make these clothes?
Do you use a computer? Did you make this computer? Did you make all the parts that go into this computer?
Do you use a bank? play cd's? watch movies? go to sporting events? etc. etc.

Some of the threads above yours talk about getting rid of corporations. Are we going to go back to the 1800's because some people want to be independent of it? And are they truly independent of it?

Why do so many people on this forum try to make me feel guilty because I LIKE my job? I work for a corporation and at this point in time have no desire to open my own business. Could this change? Sure, but why would I want to subject everyone else who does work for someone else with MY desire not to? I think a lot of people just go along with this slavery idea because it is something that you subscribe to. They want to be non-conformists by conforming with your thoughts.

I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for posting this, but I don't choose to be silent on this anymore because if you haven't noticed, it pushes one of my buttons

In conclusion, I work for a corporation and I choose to do so of my own free will. I ENJOY it!! What's wrong with that??
Like I've said in other threads, I love slaves. You make it sound like I'd want to abolish slavery (corporate or otherwise) and do away with all the benefits, which would be silly. Slaves are awesome and should be held in high regard for the service they provide.

I just think it's more honest to call them slaves rather than employees.

The word "slave" has no effect on free people, but it gets under the skin and helps to wake up those who are living very much like slaves without realizing it.
