    Is "wage slavery" actually "slavery"? And is "capitalism" really "voluntary exchange"?

    So are you changing it now? At first you said we need to quit paying capitalists, now you seem to be saying capitalist pay themselves and their workers. Can you give an example of such enterprise taking place without a business owner?

    California burger flippers are soon to be making 20 bucks an hour under minimum wage law.

    Do they really think raising the minimum wage is gonna help those impoverished? Most poor households are impoverished because nobody is working; not because everybody is working minimum wage.

    Is "wage slavery" actually "slavery"? And is "capitalism" really "voluntary exchange"?

    If everybody were in the business of pulling their own weight, we wouldn't need this Universal Basic Income that you speak of. How does a person become a capitalist without doing any real work? Please explain.

    Lets solve Free will once and for all!!

    WE are the atoms you speak of. You're asking how come we don't control the atoms that are ourselves; my answer is we do.

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    Your argument failed, so rather than admit you were wrong, you accuse me of being a troll.

    Lets solve Free will once and for all!!

    Well..... we are in control of the atoms and particles that make up us; just not all those other particles and atoms that are not us. The brain is a part of us, we are in control of everything our brains do.
