Wage slavery? Like I can't leave my job? Because I can. I can't open my own business? Because I can. I can't get a degree and get a better paying job? Because I can.
See, there's the problem with that theory. Alex Spanos, a multi-millionare, got his start selling baloney sandwiches. Wasn't he a slave to his wage? No, because he saved up some money, bought bread and baloney, and started selling sandwiches.
Dave Thomas who founded Wendy's started of running a KFC restaurant that was failing at the time. Wasn't he slave to his wage? No, he saved up, lived lean, and opened his own burger stand.
Or how about Chris Gardner, who was even homeless for a time, but worked his way up, and now runs his own stockbroker firm. Wasn't he a slave to his wage?
And there are hundreds of thousands of such cases, if not more all throughout the US. Way back when I worked at Wendy's, there was a Romanian there, who barely spoke English. He worked hard, lived lean, and learned English, and eventually went on to own the largest Hertz rent-a-car in Columbus, the one next to the international air port. How did he do that? Wasn't he a slave to his Wendy's wage?
The wage slave theory is false.
