Are We Really Volunteering If We're Getting Paid?

After President Obama realized that mandating volunteer requirements for all college students would constitute as slavery, he turned to a new avenue to encourage community service from Americans. Today he signed a new law that increases government education subsidies to Americorps, a service organization began in 1993 under President Clinton. According to the Americorps website, people who 'volunteer' through Americorps receive $4,725 to pay for education expenses. With this new law, more of your tax dollars will be given as payment to people who volunteer. Explain to me how this protects my life, liberty, or property?
