I think it would be helpful if you would state more precisely just what you mean by “the free market.” There are government regulations concerning the sale of food contaminated with harmful bacteria, the sale of components of WMD’s to terrorist states (as defined by the government), the sale of toys that burst into fire, maintaining fraudulent accounting records, etc.
Are you opposed to all of these things, or just the laws pertaining to labor?
I believe you are not serious with your nitpicking. I think you know exactly what the Free Market is and exactly what I mean by that term.
Labor is only one major cost in the production of goods and yes it deserves a free market approach. In the end we are all costs in the production of what we produce. Pretty simple really.
The Free Market just says to keep costs under sales revenue and make a profit. The gummit only adds costs and makes markets less efficient.
