The unemployment rate in the US is near record lows, so there are plenty of alternatives for most people. And: your government spent about 22.7% of GDP on social expenditures (in 2022, the latest year I have data for). See https://www.oecd.org/social/expenditure.htm

You have a hard time convincing anyone that the choice is "take this job or die" for most people.

Oh, so it's okay if it's voluntary for some people but not for others? I guess slavery in the 1800s was okay because most people weren't slaves, then.
