Any other centrist atheists?

I'm not against the idea of unions in general, but in my country, they have far too much power.

If you equate "progressive" with "left" and "conservative" with "right" then you'd be correct, but I did not say "socially left and fiscally right", nor did I equate those terms. The left are generally socially progressive, but many forms of leftism are not; likewise, the right are generally fiscally conservative, but many forms of rightism are not. Libertarianism is not a left-wing movement, nor is it a right-wing movement, hence why I called it centrist.

And, people will care about a company's mistreatment of employees only up to a point, hence why places like Wal-Mart remain hugely profitable.
Watch Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode on Wal-Mart.

I'm glad you agree with me though; being paid something is much better than being paid nothing. Hence why the minimum wage is such a silly concept. Being paid less than minimum wage might suck, but it is better than being paid absolutely nothing.
