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.

You see, I'm not a liberal, so the way I view the constitution is going to be different from most, but considering that property is essential to labour I'd say that they cannot be trated separately. I'm saying that unfair compensation is basically a theft of the person's labour: they do the work but someone else reaps the rewards.
