6. I love how they bash the concept of the minimum wage.

Raising the minimum wage, for example, amounts to a limitation on the rights of workers to negotiate their own employment contracts. The minimum wage says: you have no right to offer less for your services than the state gives you permission to offer. Thus, the minimum wage not only promotes unemployment; it restrains the human right to associate on any terms of a person’s choosing.

Yeah, I'm sure everyone would just LOVE to work for only $3 an hour. No, make that $3 a day. :eyes:
