Lol... Yes, we never die. At least not of disease.

So, you're hearing the slavery bit even there, huh? It's just such a wildly exaggerated claim, I don't know how to respond. I keep thinking they must all talk to one another on conservative websites and that's where they learn this nonsense. I sometimes wonder how many slaves might have been willing to trade this tax-payer-slave version of slavery for the being-someone-else's-property-and-having-no-say-whatsoever-over-your-life version.
