Child Labor laws- Do you agree with them?
« on: November 21, 2011, 11:40:32 AM »
Should employers be allowed to put kids younger than 14 to work?  Should 5th graders be allowed to pump gas and make sneakers?

No, I do not agree with child labor laws. Children should be able to be gainfully employed.

Yes.   I used to work with my dad from 11 y/o at his construction company doing  al sorts of shit.  

Had a paper route at 12

Worked as a maintenance guy at 14 y/o at a country club.  



The idiot demo marxists are trying to make it like 13 y/o will be in factories and sweat shops.  The issue is a lot more compliocated than the idiot scare tactics of the panzies on the left.

All poor American children should be forced to work jobs that involve hard labor for pennies a day. Also, no lunch or bathroom breaks.

It builds character.

I'm not even sure if the labor laws are the issue.  A lot of companies simply prefer 18 +.
