Slavery would still be legal.

Here is part of the Declaration of Independence, which, by the way, is NOT law.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

It's a relic of the industrial age socialism that trains people to be lifetime workers and debtors which is de facto slavery.

Kids now are raised to take for granted everything they have and therefore we will be outdone by children from other countries who are "hungry" for education and appreciate even the opportunity to attend school.In that regard i think parenting and instilled values are as important as the system itself - it is a sense of entitlement that keeps individuals from wanting to engage in the learning experience.The solution with education is privatization, we should abolish the department of education along with the department of energy, the FED, the IRS, medicaire, medicaid, welfare, obamacare....the list goes on.I do like the idea of incentivizing good grades monetarily.

Am I off base in assuming that the Fannie/Freddie secondary market model is terrible and needs to be abolished post haste?

Hmmm...so odd that one does what ones thinks is right, and works hard, doesn't drink/break laws/gamble, college/4.0 g.p.a. advanced degrees, feeds the coffers of the mortgage lending profiteers and at church, and there is still no hope for any quality of life above rat-in-a-wheel slavery, and should be grateful to be able to do it...just seems really odd, somewhat inhumane.

And the opposing party claims that position should be abolished and he should follow the standard structure which was designed 200 years ago.Has anyone heard of walking the talk?

It's soooo subjective, it's crazy.and if condoning slavery and inferior treatment of women is not 'wrong'...cuz the bible has plenty of it.Nobody can prove the supernatural stuff one way or the other...nobody is disputing a man named Jesus existed(Koran says he was a prophet only)...nobody can prove the conversations happened one way or the other(bible was written through hear-say MANY times over and many Decades after jesus was gone..ever tried the grapevine story game in school?...

J Scott, I am not arguing for the abolishment of government.

Jerry - I looked into tenancy by the entirety (had never heard of it before) and found this: In 1890, the Minnesota Supreme Court identified that the tenancy by the entirety form of real property title ownership had been abolished in Minnesota,... so i'm guessing it's not even an option?
