In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Let's repeal the minimum wage

From the first English-speaking settlement at Jamestown, Virginia exactly 400 years ago until the mid-20th century, there was no minimum wage in America. But how could that be? How could the country grow without worker protection? And why would millions upon millions of immigrants flock to a nation that didn't have a minimum wage? Because they didn't want one. They simply wanted freedom.

Let's get the government out of the employer-employee relationship. Complete freedom without any coercion always works best. History proves it. Read an article on the minimum wage by Lew Rockwell here.
