I would agree that he has Libertarian ideas but he also has some that really cross the line....and as he says....NOT to the Liberal side!
I would like to think of myself as Libertarian but it is a tough standard to meet all the time.
The question here is...does the government have a legitimate interest in the conduct of a business owner toward his employees?
Stossel thinks not.
But if you continue that logic....why worry about employee safety? If the job is dangerous...go work elsewhere. Minimum wage....let the market take care of it. If you don't like the wages, leave.
How do you balance freedom with the needs for protection?
It is a difficult question. I just found it amusing that someone would be defending an employer who brags about doing the help and works in his underwear.![]()
