Slavery exists here in the United States but not in a fashion that most might be familiar with. Though the term is typically associated with forced labor, the slave trade and the use of slaves as labor in the later 1700's the term can also be used when no labor is present. Slavery is also often referred to as "bondage" which can be defined as " the state of being under the control of another " or "someone entirely dominated by some other influence"

In this case, when dependence is by choice, one can see that slavery/bondage exists throughout the US. All manners of abusers are slaves to their socially unacceptable urges, drug addicts are slaves to their narcotics as surely as welfare recipients are enslaved by the unearned federal subsidies they so readily crave.
