Not if they inherited it. The key idea here is asymmetry of power. When people are desperate enough that they would take a sub-minimum wage job, this doesn't necessarily imply a "voluntary exchange". If you're facing starvation or medical bankruptcy, you are essentially being coerced to take any job you can find.
- ttoinou 8y agoIf you're worried about people being in bad situations, why do you think laws that would prevent them from improving their situation is a good idea ? What do you do with those that are not in this situation, yet still interested in the jobs you judge not good ? How can you make that judgment for others ?
