Slavery and Socialism are Based in Political Economics

Dear editor,

Slavery is based in economics where one person or persons economically benefit from the forced labor of another person or persons. The best remembered was the hardcore slavery of blacks mostly by the southern democrat states along with the less remembered "softer" form of slavery being the indentured servitude of poorer whites which were both outlawed with the 13th Amendment of our Constitution. The definition of "pander" is "to gratify or indulge" a group which one is attempting to appeal to, as in politics to receive their vote. What is democrat socialism?

At its very base it is the redistribution of wealth through taxation, not for mandatory work or employment. What is excessive taxation? Taxes levied on the working classes that are beyond what is needed to run a limited sized government as directed by Article I, Section 8 of our Constitution. There are only two mandatory places your paycheck can go, in your pockets or government's pockets. So the democrat ideology of the socialized redistribution of wealth requires excessive taxes now known as "Pelosi's crumbs" for which democrats now want back. Is this not a form of slavery when a portion of society now works to support another portion of society?

Yes it is! If tax dollars are what is required for social programs why has leaving more money in the hands of the working classes generated more government collected taxes in 2017 now opposed by democrats, but still pays for these same social programs? That is why there is a big difference between a "hand up" to become a income taxpayer and continuous "hand outs" that doesn't promote more income taxpayers! Why is it democrats have historically embraced all forms of slavery even when it is against increasing the numbers and betterment of working people and opposes America with ANTIFA's newest message of "No Borders, No Walls, No U.S.A. at All"?
