You see, welfare system is a heavy burden on the state and tax payers and in time of crisis like the present depression, the financial situation is particularly grave. Why not replace it with the good old fashion slavery system which christians, jews and muslims( or add the groups of your choosing) were once so familiar with?A person who lost his job can render his/her body and person, from 3 months to 3 years, to individuals or the state for a lump sum ,daily sustenance and lodging.
So a beautiful women could serve a weathier man with her senuality, a strong, agressive young man could serve the state as a slave soldier, not to mention an anti-semite homo idiot could comfort his nazi master their pervert way. The possibilities just go on and on...
Just imagine the amount of public money saved.
The slave should be able to redeem himself/herself, before the contracted term expires, upon repaying the bondage money with an advanced notice.
Just imagine, what better to put on one's resume than saying one can work as hard as a slave? Employers will be impressed by such character, strong will and survival instinct. We all know the story of sparticus, right?
