Should we put a limit on what people can earn? Should the government limit what you can earn? Should salary limits be legislated? Does that strike you as freedom?

Women's labor should not be free. And yet we still do not compensate our First Lady. I don't mind at all that the pendulum now swings in the other direction for her.
