Employ
An ancient way to enslave a nation of people and bring them under tribute was called Corvee. How it works is explained in:
“Servitude. A term which indicates the subjection of one person to another person, or of a person to a thing, or of a thing to a person, or of a thing to a thing.”[1]
Involuntary servitude is illegal in the United States but voluntary servitude is very legal and common in the world today. When you waive a right to a portion of your labor to obtain benefits at the expense of your neighbor you and the generations to come have entered a social contract. If you continue to apply for or obtain those benefits by borrowing against the future generation you the next generations and un-volunteering is not usually permitted nor should it be.
“Whatever day makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.” —Homer, Odyssey.

What is the difference between being employed and being enslaved?
Have the people of the world been enslaved in a corvee system of statutory labor?
Have we returned to the bondage of Egypt where our labor is no longer our own?

People have returned to that bondage because of their Covetous Practices of desiring benefits at the hands of men who call themselves Benefactors but actually just exercise authority one over the other to take from some and give to others. The people thought they would be free but have become human resources. Because of what they thought was for their welfare they have been snared.
"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage...But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." (2 Peter 2:19, 22)
The Modern Christian does not know how the solution is found in the message of Christ and Moses as well as the prophets of the past because of the Sophistry of modern religion. if we are willing to repent and hear the truth and act righteously upon the truth and Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness there is hope.
Your labor is the source from which wages are derived. Your labor is an expenditure of yourself. Your labor is the primary means of production and the first capital.
“Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.” —Adam Smith (1723-1790)
“Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.” (Ec 5:19)
If you waive a right to a portion of your labor to obtain benefits or security from a single ruler or a collective you become a person, a voluntary servant, a thing to be traded.
“Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself a slave to it.” —Ben Franklin
Join the Network and start attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
