Slavery and the state

[lobb40118]

I listened last night and the topic of slavery came up again, about whether or not we are all slaves to the state. I would say yes and use as my proof the Bible. In the Bible the people were required to pay one fifth of their wages to the state and were considered slaves. We pay as much if not more today. So why would we not be slaves currently? "Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.” Genesis 47:23-47:24

And then what happened after that?

I'll give you a hint: Revolution
