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.
No need to be defensive - I just would like some clarification. So your definition of the Free Market is "to keep costs under sales revenue and make a profit?"
So now you need a definition of Free Market? Econ 101 the free exchange of goods and services. There done.
