No, private businesses should decide the amount of competitive incentives they offer to employees instead of a government mandate

Agree

No, too many workers take advantage of these programs

While this answer opposes government-mandated paid leave, it does so for a different reason than the laissez-faire ideology. Laissez-faire supporters would agree with the idea that businesses should not be required to provide paid leave, but their reasoning would be based on the principle of minimal government intervention, rather than concerns about workers taking advantage of the programs.

Disagree

Yes, but the federal government should sponsor this program instead of businesses

Although this answer shifts the responsibility from businesses to the federal government, it still involves government intervention in the economy, which is contrary to the laissez-faire ideology. Laissez-faire supporters would prefer that the market, rather than the government, determine the availability of paid leave.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for companies with 100+ employees

Although this answer suggests a more limited government intervention, it still goes against the laissez-faire principle of minimal government involvement in the economy.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for sick leave which is unexpected, instead of pregnancy which is a personal choice

This answer still involves government intervention in the economy by mandating paid sick leave, which goes against the laissez-faire ideology.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the lack of paid sick leave is unfair to working men and women

While laissez-faire supporters may acknowledge the potential unfairness of not providing paid sick leave, they would still argue that it is not the government's role to mandate such benefits. They believe that the market will naturally correct any unfair practices through competition.
