I was just looking over some Amendments to Bills made by Congress.... I was actually looking for statutes in particular, but this one caught my eye for some reason...
Long story short, let me direct you to LINE 1 which discusses
"peonage." Now I looked at this word, peonage, and thought to myself "What the hell is that? The ACT of being a peon?"
Well..... That is EXACTLY what it means!
And I'll let you in on a little secret! THAT IS YOU!
Here's the definition in case you can't read it in the photo:
peonage
pē′ə-nĭj
noun
1.) The condition of being a peon.
2.) A system by which debtors are bound in servitude to their creditors until their debts are paid.
3.) The holding, by illegal methods, of free negroes or whites in a condition of semi-slavery, specifically in the southern part of the United States: also applied to the abuse of the convict lease system in the South.
Definition #2 is especially troubling to me, since that is ALL OF US! We are BORN in debt because of the THIEVES who steal almost 50% of our wages and still need more!
How does it make you feel to be a member of the "peonage"?
You can find the amendment here if you'd like to look at it
