Seriously, I gotta rant… Why does the government have to involve itself at ALL in coal mines, sweat shops, etc? I mean, those workers are CHOOSING to work there. It’s very different from slavery, where there is no choice. Here, the choice is to work in a tough environment and make a little money or not work and make no money and starve.
The free market is the solution to poverty. If a man will not work he will not eat.
just happened upon your blog–do you believe that “choosing” happens in a vacuum? That natural and social forces have no influence in the occupational opportunities that one is afforded?
