| Message | Imprisonment, is a breach of human rights. Fines are a breach of human rights. Taxation is a breach of human rights. You can say "What if the person is innocent", to just about any argument. At the level of minimum wage we have now, slave labor will not lower wages. An explanation of why it is immoral would be nice. |
