> I see this as a way to give companies an incentive to train workers.
They don't need this abusive system to do that. They can reimburse college credits and require a certain amount of time. The difference is that they aren't charging $20k for training that is worth $500.
> Today we have something much more coercive than indentured servitude and that's involuntary servitude in the form of income tax law. At least with indentured servitude you choose the servitude and it expires after the ordained time.
That's not indentured servitude. As soon as you quit making money, you owe no tax. How are you handcuffed into servitude when income is taxed and not wealth?
