Forced labor is slavery

But recently, President Obama and his white house chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel tried to find an even better way to insult Americans. They say that Americans are just too dumb to manage their time effectively. So, all Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 should have to serve three months of every year in a civilian service program. Because we’re just too dumb to make decisions on our own. Also, our time is worthless and we have nothing productive to do with three months of our lives. We have wonderful guys like Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama to look out for us and point us in the right direction. Because without them, we’re just so hopeless. This is just another violation of property rights. I own my body, and no one else can tell me what to do with it. The government has no right to force labor out of its citizens. That is slavery. We may not be picking cotton on some plantation, but anytime you’re forced to give up your time for the benefit of someone else, that’s slavery (even if done for “greater good”).
