I have just spent 2.5 hours of precious, irreplaceable lifespan preparing, printing, mailing and e-filing 1099s for two small companies. I consider this Slave Labor.
My rationale is that this labor is compulsory; if I refuse to do it or resist, I will be fined, imprisoned, maimed or killed. I certainly call that compulsory, not voluntary. Compulsory labor without compensation is by definition the labor of a slave.
Supposedly the United States of America is the Land of Liberty, and supposedly our tax system is voluntary. What egregious doublespeak(TM) in both cases!
