Alan Keyes, a conservative activist and former diplomat, said Wednesday that President Barack Obama and liberals in Congress are promoting a dependence on government that mirrors slavery.

I stared your post and agree..As long as you are NOT living off someone else..I'm not here to work and pay taxs so you don't..
“What did it mean to be a slave?” Keyes asked. “It meant that you actually had guaranteed shelter, guaranteed clothing. Your master guaranteed your food, your clothing, your shelter and a job. “Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?” he said.

No if you are dumb enough to pay the IRS you deserve everything you get.

This is actually pretty true.
When you work for various companies (or yourself), you have the options to choose which workplace fits your life the best. Or you can make sacrifices and take on risks and dangers for very high pay.
