Why is it the employer's responsibility to provide a living wage?

[MindForgedManacle]

This is just the problem. People like Heywood want (or heavily imply) they want some unfettered capitalist system, especially with regards to labor, and claim they're being consistent in doing so. The problem is that this would basically be a Darwinian enterprise, and that is morally repugnant. This would REQUIRE the inescapable death and suffering of the many to give the few a life of prosperity, with almost no social mobility from the bottom to the top.

And I always find it surprising when Christians are libertarians, given how antithetical it is to Jesus' teachings and actions, which at bottom are the giving of a handout (salvation) from the ultimate authority.
