Slavery is lack of freedom.
Lots of slaves got paid:

If you are so free, don't show up for work for a few weeks without getting permission from your master first and spend some time with your family.
One of the arguments of the south for slavery was that slaves got room, board, food, healthcare, ect far into old age until death. Northerners on the other hand kicked you out into the gutter to die the moment your productivity dropped off.
Which of those is more humane?
debt/wage slavery is still slavery. If you are so free go homestead, or roam and live with the land as our ancestors did. oh wait, you can't do that unless you are rich from another source and buy your own land.
