re: #61 Dark_Falcon

I do, however, have a philosophical objection to a referendum that mandates a wage increase, especially one backed by labor unions. It seems to me said unions using their organizational capabilities to vote themselves monies from someone else’s pocket. That’s redistributionism, and I’m against it.

Why does our view of “individualsm” posit that individuals with limited resources should negotiate with multi-million dollar companies for terms of employment?

When investors band together and form a corporation to promote their interests, that is considered to be the very heartbeat of Free Enterprise, but when consumers or employees do it, it is “redistributionalism”.

Your ideological slip is showing.
