You are not describing a free market. You are describing a fantasy
world in which people get paid what they want irrespective of
market conditions. Why should employees have preferential treatment
over employers. What makes the rights of sellers superior to that
of buyers? You cannot make the moral case for this ... ever.

I wasn't describing a free market, and I certainly don't call it moral.
Sometimes the real world isn't that moral. And remember, institutions and
corporations are run by people. And in some instances there is no morally
correct accounting done.


That's true, but what you're proposing adds to the pillaging and thieving.
Min wage laws and their many variant cousins effectively use force to
constrain the buyer while giving the seller a benefit they have not earned.
You're solution is thus effectively to increase evil, not decrease it.
