OMG! My Government class teacher is making us write a paper on modern day slavery and it has opened my eyes to these unconstitutional events which are happening today. I cannot believe Burger Kings will not pay one penny more, meanwhile the CEO gets paid millions a year. I don't understand how this is happening in the United States of America today.
