They will either come to a mutually beneficial wage or worse case scenario they both walk away no better or worse for the discussion. In a free market, anyone still retains the option of becoming the employer and thus preserving competition so necessary for advancement and prosperity. However, if to do a job requires crony capitalism, an in with the regulators, union labor, an exclusive government industry work permit, special government loans, then the government is no longer impartial but is picking marketplace winners and losers. Thus, whoever controls the government, controls the market making it no longer free. The result: Either the employee (usually a union) extorts more than an employer would want to pay for a given service thereby transferring the extra cost to consumers, or the employer extorts the employee for less than they would like to work transferring the cost of inefficiency to the consumers since a better but not politically connected employer has been shut out of the market. Since the market is no longer free (i.e. open) to competition to other employers and employees, the market has no remedy to any of these abuses. A non-union employee can't use his talent to work, and if not this favored business employer, you are not allowed to compete. Either way the lack of quality and cost of a partial government (i.e. umpire) is passed on to the consumer, you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722510.post-25723349224841973772008-09-23T20:40:00.000-05:002008-09-23T20:40:00.000-05:00I always aspire to write something that I can use ...I always aspire to write something that I can use to rebut my dad's horrible similarly toned emails to me that he is so lazy and idle that he doesn't actually create them, he just hits "forward".Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722510.post-32265261769196908882008-08-14T14:42:00.000-05:002008-08-14T14:42:00.000-05:00Scarlet: Glad to see you wandered back in!
