Life is a fair as we make it. If you hate the government so much why not relocate your business to a country that will allow you to freely exploit your workers to your hearts content. There are many countries that allow employers to chain workers to their work areas, allow cheap child labor, and, best of all, none of those pesky OSHA types coming around to insist you have a 'safe' working environment for your chattel employees.[/QUOTE]More ad hominem?[/QUOTE]Not really. The main thrust of your argument is the government is the cause of the workers problems. Merely pointing out some of the things those pesky taxes we pay protect us from.

You do know your labor history don't you? How employers used to require 12 hour workdays. And that when early labor organizers worked to change this practice (amoung others) the companies would hire thugs to do everything from intimadation to outright murder of these organizers?
