Triangle Shirt Factory Fire - How to talk to a Liberal

    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911 is used by Liberals/Progressives to defend government regulation of working conditions. Just ask them this: "If the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory were to open today, with the same working conditions and pay, how much government regulation would be needed to protect the workers?"
     The answer is, "None." There would be no government regulation needed because there would be no workers. Everyone in America has a better option than this, including begging on the street.
      Are there some people in the U.S. who are working in horrible working conditions? Of course there are but we have all the law and government regulations to prevent it now and yet these conditions still exist.  The reason there are people who are working in horrible conditions is that they have no other options, including begging, because they are here illegally. (I think humanitarian reasons are the most important reasons to enforce our immigration laws.)
     What can we do? Continue to raise living standards here and around the world so that everyone has a better option. Working conditions will fix themselves as workers vote with their feet.
