Yes
They call it taxes. The power to tax citizens is the power to own the fruit of their labor. Just got a bill for four grand. However many weeks/ months that takes is slavery to those providing me with no goods or services.

To a degree we are slaves in the sense that our properties have been stolen by the states. Now we are forced to pay a yearly rent or tribute to them. Same goes for transportation. There's half a dozen taxes on automobiles and fuel..

I've talked to dark skinned Americans who had a chip on their shoulder about "my" ancestors.
The thing is that my ancestors never owned slaves.
Some of them were from a country from which the term slave was derived. It isn't in Africa either. The Slavs were slaves.
Here's some interesting history.
