"Financial slavery is just as bad as physical slavery!"

Tell that to Hitler.

Yes, I just went there, but that *was* one of the major resons for WW2, that the
treaty of versailles was so utterly one-sided, and basically crippled Germany.
Current Palistine is worse, and I'm suprised they haven't done more.

Then again, revenge doesn't work. So I don't know why we're pushing for
punishment after-the-fact.

Thank you for the good argument, and it prompted me to look up debt and
inheritance. I still believe that Hogan should be required to do all within his
means to pay the costs that he is capable of that are the result of his failure
to follow court instructions.

I was thinking of secured debt, which is inheritable. Unsecured debt, which
would apply directly to the concerns that you raised, does not pass on after
death.

If you go back to early American History you will see that this is exactly how
slavery started in the US.

in the early days, someone (of any race) could sign up for 'indentured
servatude' to pay for the cost of getting them to America. Then the debt became
something that applied to the decendents, eventually this morphed into the
racial outright ownership that we think of as "slavery" today.

Also lookup 'company store' abuses for how the industrialized north started down
a similar path.
