>> If a Costco wants to employ freedmen and actually pay them, that should be their right. If a McDonalds wants to use slaves, then they ought to be allowed to try.

It isn't "slave labor" when the relationship is consensual. No one is REQUIRING a person to work for $5.00/hour, but if a person wants to do it, who the hell is government to tell them they cannot?

Workers often take something away from work other than cash. If a person, for example, wants to work for a cabinetmaker for $5.00/hour for year so he learn those skills, he damned well ought to be able to do it. And the cabinetmaker ought not to be discouraged from hiring him.

It is just stupid, liberal, ass-backward economic policy.
