23. So your peonage is acceptable because you are comfortable?

This is not to say that these owners are bad people, they are working within a system that demands exploitation to succeed.

If they chose not to comply with this system they would likely be unable to do whatever it is they do, but consider this, will you ever receive enough compensation from them to live they way they do? If business takes a turn for the worse, which course of action will they pursue, reduce their lifestyle so that you can continue to labor on their behalf (since it appears that this is your preference), or will they fire you in order to maintain their lifestyle?
