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.
