Merge/redirect to Tax protester? And if this is deleted, someone should fix the incoming link. --ZooGuard (talk) 15:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't seem to be about tax protest (though quite possibly the same supporters). This looks like it could be OK with the addition of a couple of examples or citations & maybe a better title. ŴêâŝêîôîďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 15:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
I'd say keep, possibly merge. Even if the article is crap the topic is important. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
It's not as common as Tax Protester's, but usually it's a subset sold to people who don't know what garnishment is. Hard to find good examples, as anyone with more then 2 brain cells can logically deduce only an raging idiot with a ton of debt thinks it is a great idea. I like the merge idea myself ~~Subsound~~
Well, if we are to keep this, we should improve it. As of right now I am supporting a merge.Quacky | Talk! Scream! Share! 21:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Hopefully this gets it fleshed out a bit more, and added some references. ~~Subsound~~
I think somewhere in here there should be mention (even if oblique) to national debt/deficit etc. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 04:54, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Please, feel free to dink around with it :-) The references I found hit a little bit better of a fit on the policies of struggling economies of third world dictatorships that just stole the money and begged the World Bank to forgive their debt (just to have the next leadership steal more, and repeat). I just wasn't sure how to phrase the US deficit in relation to this topic ~~Subsound~~

[edit] When is debt slavery actually debt slavery?

Could a capitalist please explain this? In Wikipedia it says that most debt slavery is somehow "mostly in Asia," but why isn't it slavery in all other nations, like USA? Most Americans owe lots more for car & house loans, but in Asia they owe a lot less, so I can't believe they say that debt slavery is "mostly in Asia?" That doesn't make sense at all! Is it because USA spends millions giving advice in advertisements, which makes it seem too "modern" to be called slavery? Debt is always slavery, so it's actually illegal right now, because all forms of slavery are illegal. 05:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
