That's more of a consquence of the current economic climate and not the constitution, which only states: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." It doesn't favour anybody, except the "citizen", what you're talking about here more is worker's rights which is a bit of a separate issue. I'm not sure what you mean by slavery here.

Now of course you would get arrested for theft if you stole from someone because if you didn't then your entire system would be so corrupt that it would not be functional. You have a point where being able to stand up to your rights can be an issue and many people from all parts of the political spectrum would agree here, but that's the battle isn't it?

The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitutde, except as punishment for a crime. That means that slavery is allowed in regards to prisoners, that's what I mean by slavery. Also, worker's rights is inseparable from property rights, as the vast majority of workers have to use someone else's private property in order to make a living. Also, what constitutes theft is biased against the poor, as profiting off the labour of others and unfairly compensating them is not a crime.

I see, I wasn't aware about that. Worker's rights are not inseperable from property rights but the constitution deals with property rights which are separable from worker's rights. I'm not sure how you equate unfair compensation with theft.
