>Minimum wage: The proper minimum wage is "zero". Anything more causes false pressures on the market which hurt business and unskilled workers trying to enter the job market. No one would accept or continue in a job which pays less than they are willing to work for. The market will self-correct if left alone.
How can a position be so naive? This is the 2008 Libertarian party candidate's position on minimum wage. Hay guys shall we open some sweatshots in Amerikkka?

The #1 key component to working libertarian governments is envy. Don't believe me? In such a supposedly free government, how would this state justify expanding its own power? By pointing at other more successful countries and saying "Hey...we should have that, but these new tax laws don't give us enough to do that, hmm..."
Well, what do you think the answer would be? Yep, that's right, swipe a page from democrats.
Now they see that humans in their new country are *gasp* dividing themselves into cliques. Again. Oh my what a surprise? The only answer? Yep, swipe a page from Republicans and imprison all those boatrockers. After all, who needs to rock the boat when you have Liberty granted by the Libertarian Party? Hurhurhur.
It's just a harebrained populist movement like the South American commies. Got some good philosophical heads though, now if only they would invent something that would actually work.
