The primary purpose of an economy is to create wealth to the benefit of a society.

In a free society dedicated to production, full employment of all who voluntarily seek work is a vital means to this end. We believe this is best achieved through barring government interference in the labor market. The right of employers and employees, unionized or otherwise, to negotiate freely and voluntarily, must be respected and protected by law. Furthermore, we hold that the government has no authority in a free society to dictate the terms of voluntary contracts between such individuals.

Government interference in the labor markets, by either setting minimum wage laws or forcing employers to negotiate exclusively with unions, not only violates the equal protections clause of the constitution, but also places an onerous burden on employers by forcing them to expend more financially than the value of labor they receive from employees. Likewise, we believe all productive individuals have the right to seek, and obtain, the true value of the work they produce.

We hold that because of government interference in the labor market, unemployment remains a chief societal concern. We therefore unequivocally support the right of employers to offer wages that, in their judgment, reflect the productive ability of potential employees, and the right of workers to voluntarily accept or decline the wages offered, or to negotiate for higher salaries.

We hold that such a policy will encourage full employment and ensure that those new to the job market and/or relatively unskilled can find employment and thereby earn money, gain experience, build a resume, receive valuable on-the-job training to further their careers and earning potential, as well as experience the pride of being self-supporting.

To achieve a fully free market in labor will require the repeal of minimum wage laws; the repeal of all laws that grant exclusive privileges to labor unions and/or businesses; the repeal of all subsidies to corporations and unions alike; and the complete dismantling of the federal regulatory state respecting labor practices and conditions with the acknowledgement that the best regulator of one’s own life and choices is the private citizen and any private organization that shares his values.
