How Freedom Was Lost
By Paul Craig Roberts
Americans no longer know what freedom is. Historically, the definition of a free person is one who owns his own labor. Serfs and slaves were not free, because they do not own all of their own labor. An income tax is inconsistent with the historical definition of freedom. Today in America government has a claim on every person's labor, just as feudal lords, the government of that time, had claims on the labor of serfs and nineteenth century plantation owners had on slaves.
