Unfortunately, we haven't evolved that much since the days of slavery. For most people, work is no much better than slavery.
The main difference is people now have some choice, regarding what they must consume... but when 100% of the salary is spent in paying bills, food and transportation to work, let's face it... that's slavery. You can sugar coat it all you want... it's still slavery.
And then, when retirement day comes, these people have no chance but to keep on working.
Well said. I fully agree.
