Two people voluntarily trading is not "slavery." Whether or not they have the permission of politicians to trade makes no difference morally. "Taxation," on the other hand IS slavery, as it is the labor of one being forcibly stolen for the benefit of someone else. Trading with a so-called "illegal" is perfectly moral, even if the control freaks declare it to be a crime. And "taxing" the "illegal," or someone trading with him, constitutes immoral theft. We have met the enemy, it is our own delusional belief in "authority" and "government." Remove that delusion, and you will see reality. Until then, you will call mutually voluntary interaction "slavery," and you will call robbery "the law." Until you lose The Most Dangerous Superstition, you will keep cheering for tyranny in the name of freedom. Gack. 

Larken, point well taken. Excellent point.  I invite you to tell it to the 15 million Americans unemployed while 8 million illegal aliens hold down full time jobs, and as their numbers suck up $346 billion of your tax dollars annually.  At some point, we need some kind of even ground and lawful order. Without it, we continue with anarchy at every level.  Thanks, FW
