StatistFallacies/WageSlavery

Fallacy:

Statist: "OMG, wage slavery!"

Response:

The term "wage slavery" is an anti-concept, as Rand would put it. A job is a transaction between a buyer and a seller. If the transaction is made voluntarily—an agreement is made to exchange labor for a consideration, usually money called a "wage"—then it cannot possibly be slavery, because slavery is involuntary servitude.
