The slaves' illusion of being free workers, since they are paid money for their work. They don't realize that this money will be taken from them later. There is not so much difference with real slaves, they were not paid, but at least they were given room and board, while a worker does not have this when the bank takes away their home because they could not pay the mortgage. Human rights in this society are only applicable to those who have the money to pay for them, since capitalism has turned these rights into another commodity.
