The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I guess those worker protections don't work so well when you price yourself out of business. **nononono*

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Make labor costs more expensive for employers and they’ll reduce labor. Either progressives are really that ignorant or this is done intentionally for reasons only they know

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

They really are that ignorant.  They also assume that raising taxes won't dampen economic activity so that if a tax rate of 30% brought in $30 billion over some period of time, a tax rate of 60% will bring in $60 billion over the same period of time.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
