How do you balance this

I am against most gov't interference in business. I think gov't is too big and powerful. I think power should be reserved to the people.

With this

I think minimum wages should be up around $8.00. I think there should be a 100% estate tax for most rich folks.

[parsifal]

The gov't doesn't have to get real involved in these things. Just set the rates and enforce. Compare this to say, getting a 404 Wetlands permit. Or SEC compliance. Or going thru a DOT audit. Minwage, in particular, is very non-intrusive. How many gov't agents does it take and how much face-to-face? Not much. parsy.
