"Debt is the modern equivalent of slavery, rendered acceptable because of the illusion of choice. But when the cost of living skyrockets and wages stagnate, that choice is made for us."

I took out the loan as a learning tool. To buy the necessary equipment and software to learn it. Still cheaper than school to do it. I am my sole source of labor. I am my own capital and labor.

Where is my hand out, why can't I force people to give me their tax dollars. I work 12 hour days not asking for shit, while yet proto fascists work 8 hours a day because of labor standards can vote to be paid more.

Sorry man. You're wrong. You're a socialist. There is more than just labor as the sole source. There is also more to it than the capital.

I used my loan to buy equipment and software to allow me to learn a trade, and to use that so I could labor for myself.

I'm not complaining. But if you're wanting to take my tax dollars to pay for what ever shit you want because you think society owes you, then fuck off. Where's my slice? Why don't I get money to pay for my voluntary debts?

In other terms. You want to take my money, because you feel like society owes owes you something. I'm not trying to insult you, but you aren't owed jack fucking shit, and no one should expect to pay you so you can get a free ride just because you have an insane world view.
