My philosophy of not trusting anyone who makes more money than I means that I'm very leery on the idea of laissez faire economics.

So, do you support any laws that aim to regulate hours, wages, and who can work?

Who can work? Nope

So, you don't believe there should be child labor laws?

they're aren't abysmal working conditions like the last time we had child labor.

...That's generally because of standards set in place by the government, preventing those overcrowded sweatshops with long hours, wouldn't you say?

I believe in a relatively free market, which should be deregulated in comparison to today's economy.

I'm 100% laissez-faire.

Because tariffs didn't exist, am I right?

So what economic regulations do you support?

I think it'd be political unfeasible to repeal a lot of the current safety laws we have, considering businesses and workers have come to adapt to the cost of them, although the burden could probably be made lighter on small businesses.

Things like an appropriate working week are generally fine. Umm, I'd rather get rid of minimum wage. Punishing things like cartels is important.

Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure.

Uh, yeah no. Religion is FAR different than economics. First off, religion is a defined right in the Constitution and government interference is either illegal or highly regulated. Economics on the other hand is, but in the total opposite as the The Constitution GIVES the federal government to conduct economic acts such as taxation. In a complete and unregulated economy, corporations WILL take advantage of the people and lack of laws by having employees work like 12 hour work-shifts, will discriminate, and will inflict physical harm if work ethic is lowering. A fair example of this is 3rd world countries today where the government either doesn't have the laws like the U.S has or they don't enforce them

No it isn't. If third-world countries had rules like that nobody would have a job in the first place.

Not to mention, corporations shouldn't exist.

I'm going to pose a question for you all.

Name one place in the entire world that is 100% Laissez-Faire, capitalistic, no regulation.

Such a thing couldn't exist in the first place. It's a loaded and redundant question.

How, however, the lack of complete un-regulation is supposed to justify an incredibly intrusive State is beyond me.

Let me call up Rockefeller.

Seriously though, Andrew Carnegie > Rockefeller.

No one is forcing those children to work

Are you mentally retarded?
