Antiseptic Slavery defined: Why 80% of Americans are antiseptic slaves. 19% enforce it for the 1%

Many balk when I claim that we have refined slavery into antiseptic slavery, a boon for our economic system. 80% of Americans, irrespective of race or ethnicity, are antiseptic slaves. I defined antiseptic slavery on the WAOK Program On Point with Juandolyn Stokes.

to describe what is really economic slavery. Antiseptic sounds too medical. A term coined many years ago works better...just simply "wage" slavery.

As a white man yes, I agree. But I have been calling it debt slavery. We are kept in a constant state of chasing after the almighty buck to pay the mortgage, credit cards, home equity loans, car loans and more. We are so damned busy trying to survive, we don't have time to think about the reality of our situation and of those around us.
