The word slave dates back thousands of years. For centuries the countries of Europe were combating one another. The Slovak countries were invaded and defeated. The Slovak people were taken prisoners and made to perform ???. Thus, Slovak== Slave. I came across this information while reading a book on the history of Europe last week. It could be argued that all peoples of the world have been slaves at some point in the past 5 thousand years. Forced labor is not dead. It lives in other countries. Via taxes, aren't we all SLAVES?

Forced transfer of wealth from productive workers to those who choose not to be productive. is that activity tantamount to slavery?

Yes, it is. Taking from those who do work and giving it to those who don't, is a form of slavery. But most of that money never makes it to the poor but those in control of administering the funds. In other words the Dems and RINOs. I expect Paul Ryan, Bohner, and some military brass like Mattis and others will be getting a lot of press soon, as they undermine Trump. It's a good thing that will expose them.
