That I am a leftie or something. I can’t help but think about how unfair employees are treated today. Whether its a Karen bit hung about something, or just working in general is way undercharged for what we deserve 🤷🏻♂️ I know that’s not the ‘conservative’ thought process, but I believe if the free market was PURE we would all have much higher wages(enough for everyone) but the elite steal from us daily. Idk im a 21 year old conservative who has a lot of problems with the modern day Republican Party. Please ask questions if you are interested about the younger crowd!

If the free market was "pure" then every job would pay what it is worth, not what some bureaucrat says a business owner must pay. Everyone would be (and generally are now) able to go find a higher paying job if their current one doesn't pay enough for their liking, and if they can still make money for the company at the higher wage rate.
If the business owner isn't paying enough, they risk losing employees who will go work elsewhere for more, if they can find it.
If a business owner is too "greedy" and charges / price gouges too much, they risk losing customers.
Think of EVERYTHING in terms of supply/demand (not just commodities or products, but labor, money, credit, etc). The individual business owner knows MUCH more about pricing his business than the bureaucrat in DC (or Moscow or Caracas).
