I have heard that in Aristotle‘s time there was no linguistic differentiation between the concept of slavery and employee. They used the same word for both. (I do believe that there is an effort to obfuscate the fact that small business ownership is one of the fastest means to wealth in this country. The area I live in is 89% white. Minorities own a disproportionate amount of small businesses in the area, to include 75% of all gas stations. Four different Middle Eastern companies are represented amongst the owners of local small businesses. All of these people immigrated within the last 15 years)
