It is not slavery, any more than imprisoning people is slavery, or
having them fulfill military contracts is slavery. You need to reread
the definitions.

A person who owes should work it off.

Forced work equals slavery, by any definition.

No, it is fulfillment of a contract, a debt.

A person owing a mortgage on a house, for example, is "forced" to come
up with the money, usually by working.

Slavery is a substantially different concept that either indentured
servitude (which I of course support) or fullfillment of a debt.
Reasons left for people to think about.

You have benefitted from this debt money system and largely by
circumstance. If as a child you had not gone to certain schools
that exposed you to certain subjects that led you to desire a
particular education, you could be less wealthy.

And if you had not the means to attend the schools that taught
you the trade that you pursued that placed you in a position
of sufficient money which you then invested for a big return,
you would be less wealthy.

You owe much to timing and circumstance.

Even as a self-proclaimed libertarian you remain as conflicted
as Gunner, each of you driven by unresolved internal biases.

Fatuous nonsense.
