It isn't force. Employees aren't slaves. They can start a business or move onto a company that doesn't ask for any of this info.

This is why the majority of people starting a business, fail. Looking at the comments here, people just give up at the first sign of trouble (or need mommy and daddy government to step in and make decisions on their behalf).




I downvoted you for blatant use of a straw man and an ad hominem attack of pretty much everyone who's disagreed with you by categorically stating that they're all looking for "mommy and daddy".

Riiiiiiight. Because the blacks totally had that choice. And the women! And the Irish! And the Jews! It's kind of weird to me how libertarians model the world so simply - where culture doesn't exist, humans are perfectly rational actors, and all systems are 100% efficient. Real life isn't game theory.
