Absolutely. Minimum wage actually makes it illegal to work for less than what the government requires. I have worked minimum wage jobs, gotten raises, and then watched as minimum wage increased. Prices went up, and my $2 raise put me right back to where I was before. I wish more people understood the principle of homesteading, but that’s going to be a tough one. Even most libertarians would be appalled if you told them 100 acres isn’t rightfully their property because they’re not utilizing it. The only reason they can claim that property is from a piece of paper the government wrote for them. There are so many solutions to homelessness, but government intervention has proven to make it worse over and over again.

Tried to explain legal fiction to my girlfriend and I think it broke her brain. Arbitrary land boundaries, trusts and holding companies, intellectual property and copyright, patents - the State is a figment of people’s imaginations projecting more figments on to their imaginations which are completely at odds with the natural order of the world.
