Another line of business where the owners do the same.


People (outside the prison system) who work, work for wages to which
they have consented. No one is sticking a gun in their face and forcing
them to work at the jobs they work at.

This is a lie. Any 3 year old know that. Let me give you a simplified
model to try to make you understand:

Let assume we are on a desert island where the only source of drinking water
is in my ownership. I tell you:
- You are free to do whatever you want. I do not put my gun in your face to
force you to work for me. I am going to use my gun ONLY to defend my
property which include the water source.
You say:
- But I need water, can you give to me ?
- Well, let freely negotiate. For every cup of water you have to work for me
24 hours.
- But this makes me worst than a slave
- Well, it is free market at work. This is my offer, take it or not.
- I will sneak in and get my water.
- This is violation of property. Stealing. Then I will use the gun to
protect my property.


RK, it is called economic coercion and it is the most widely used form of
coercion in the world. And indirectly it use the violence (in the form of
property laws) to enforce the power.

Every kid know that. You guys have to grow up a little.
