That's pretty much what I think. I think you want to limit regulation to the minimum necessary to prevent exploitation and cruelty it's just I seem to part company with most libertarians of my acquaintance (and I'll exclude PP and sixgun here, since I don't think I've ever really discussed it with either of them) is were "minimum necessary" lies.
I think most would think it not the government's business at all what wages an employer chose to pay, what hours the employer chose to demand and what working conditions he chose maintain so long as the employer was up-front at the hiring stage on what those wages, hours and conditions were and I think that is far to open to abuse. Similarly most think it entirely a person's own business how they discipline their children and pets so long as no bones are broken.

Re: the ability of people to lift themselves out of poverty but that's a different question.
