Luckily, others thought differently and thus we have overtime pay, 40 hour week, protections against child labor, OSHA regulations, etc.
Quitting isn't always an option.
When you live in a country that has food stamps, medicaid/medicare and other forms of welfare that virtually guarantees almost every American can survive just fine by sitting on their butts...quitting IS almost always an option.
The government should guarantee survival for it's citizens - not a nice apartment, iPad's and a 60" tv.
As for your point about health and safety and child labor - that is a strawman and you (should) know it. I said NOTHING about these and I have said MANY times that child labor and health/safety laws should exist.
But how much people get paid or how many hours they are asked to work is none of the government's business, imo.
Obviously you disagree...fine.
