God, Himself, defines slavery in terms of percentage of the increase, in the economy of Israel in time of Samuel the prophet, of the crops or of the flocks.

That percentage is 10% of the flocks or of the crops.

At 10%, we are considered slaves.

. ¹⁵And he [THE KING THAT ISRAEL DESIRED] will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants…. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants [read - SLAVES].

The Bible considers the abject slave, that person completely dependent on the government, in the case of Pharaoh during the time of the drought which was interpreted in the dream of Pharaoh by Joseph, as that person required to give but TWENTY PERCENT of the increase of the land in the possession of Pharaoh.

²³Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. ²⁴And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. ²⁵And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants [READ - ABJECT SLAVES].

Tell me.

Tell the people of America.

It God considers a person a slave who gives but 10% of whatever increase to the King,

And if the Bible considers a person an abject slave who gives but 20% of whatever increase he receives off of the property of the King the person labors upon,

Considering the tax load of the sum of all governments from local to federal upon the citizen of America,

WHAT TYPE OF SLAVES ARE WE?
