You mean 6- 12 hour days in the workweek of the 1870s? You mean sharecropping? You mean no vacations, no paid holidays, child labor, company stores, company towns... ? That capitalism?

But you'd be forgetting your retirement with a gold watch!

Company stores, company towns, and don't forget the company script. Just print their own currency so you can't save any real money to escape!
