I prefer the term wage-slave. It's more descriptive because my slave wage gets ripped off by the government. Honestly, it's slavery, because if I miss more than 4 days work, without putting in for time off, I'm treated like a slave, I'm questioned and interrogated and can even get "written up."
Sovereign and free people don't have to worry about such things. Like most people, I'd love to be one of those carefree sovereign people.
