I can't help it - you people who are so anti-child labor are
ridiculous. It's easy to sit up in your towers and judge. How many
of you have ever been to an impoverished nation? I have, and if it
weren't for child labor, those children would starve. But I guess
then they wouldn't have to work.
You talk about children earning their keep, like it's a bad thing.
You people just sound elitist. You're the type of people who
advocate a minimum wage. Well if a minimum wage is so beneficial,
why don't we just make it a million dollars per year? Then we could
all be millionaries, and there would be no poverty.
Of course, it is ridiculous because all it would really do is
create unemployment for anyone not worth a million dollars per
year. But that is exactly what happens now. Minimum wage creates
unemployment for the people why can least afford it. Child labor
laws are no different.
I am voting for Ron Paul because he is willing to do the one thing
that no other politician is willing to do. Decrease the power of
the Federal Government and the Executive Branch in particular.
Every other candidate with a halfway descent shot at nomination
wants to grow the Federal Government, and grow the power of the
executive branch. I vote for Paul because I am anti-monopoly, and
no monopoly represents the threat today like the territorial
monopoly on juisdiction and taxation held by our un-Constitutional
Federal Government.
