Wages are low because of our tax system...

6. Just like the old plantation owners only now taxes pay for food stamps for some of the slaves.

...and they want to gut that too ...seems a little self defeating. Just because the people are not abducted from Africa does not mean the idea of slavery is gone. Today's plantation owners ship the jobs to the country of the cheapest labor slave suppliers ...or slave auction blocks. The idea is to keep the slaves healthy enough to work hard so the owner doesn't have to give them anymore than that which is where we are all headed with part time low level service jobs. If we are lucky we can make enough to pay for the bare essentials and should we try to get higher education to increase our well being we become slaves to debt. Slavery seems to be the plan they have for us all.
