The market economy is the social system of the division of labor under private ownership of the means of production.

A man who is without capital, and who, by prohibitions upon banking, is practically forbidden to hire any, is in a condition elevated but one degree above that of a chattel slave.

The end of labor is to gain leisure.
Unless we put heart and soul into our labor we but brutify our actions.
Laissez Faire was very good sauce for the goose, labor, but was very poor sauce for the gander, capital.
We should have absolute control over our borders. If we want cheap labor to depress wages and disempower the unions, then we could have guest workers. But we have to face that issue. What is it that we want to do? Rather than not facing it, and having porous borders, and the effect is that it disempowers the unions.
Nature is just to all mankind, and repays them for their industry. She renders them industrious by annexing rewards in proportion to their labor.
I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.
