Hayek’s here.

Since I’m back to Earth once again, I focus the point on the government and its intrusion on individual rights, the “Wisconsin collective bargaining” for certain. The issue is simply about the government trying to strip the workers and public employees off the ability to bargain over pay, salaries won’t increase more than inflation, contracts can last only one year at a time, and they “would not have any say on benefits and work rules” (website), which bring more benefits of low salaries to another party than the people (such as companies who want to pay low wages to new workers…). Such issue exists because the people (the majority of the U.S.) allowed some certain minorities (government) to act by taking public (the people’s) money or property in pursuit of their goals, destroys the Rule of Law and individual freedoms, such centralized systems also require effective propaganda, so that the people come to believe that the state's goals are theirs. As I learn about this issue, I also do some research for more information and I find out that the people choose those certain minorities but never thought that this would happen. Brenda Kline, a food service worker from Green Bay, said she went to the polls last year to “protect our freedoms from government threat and to create jobs. I never dreamed that this would be the result” (website). I said in my book The Road to Serfdom, “From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual, are essential and unavoidable consequences of this basic premise, and the collectivist can admit this and at the same time claim that his system is superior to one in which the “selfish” interests of the individual are allowed to obstruct the full realization of the ends the community pursue” (168). The only way to “fix” this problem is to shut down the government or if the government is to stay, it should not interfere with free market. By this, I mean the government should not be allowed to any kind of indirect way of controlling prices or quantities, “To prohibit the use of certain poisonous substances, or to require special precautions in their use, to limit working hours or to require certain sanitary arrangements, is fully compatible with the preservation of competition” (86). If the system (government) can’t do such thing, it do nothing to the people but restricting freedom, thus, it should not be there.
