Sen. Franken praises Labor Department for withdrawing new child labor rules

5. Anyone who thinks for even a second that Franken speaks common sense needs to watch this clip

This clip is taken from another thread on DU regarding the same topic. I was able to come upon and view this information without even being interested in the subject. In contrast, it is a part of Franken's job to research this information, being that his less than informed ass voted on what our nation's policy is to be regarding it. I would say, judging from his comments in attempting to make the entire issue seem to be about the relatively small percentage of family farms that are affected by the child labor tragedy in our country, that he has not done his homework with respect to investigating the real problem with our countries' children laboring in dangerous and brutal conditions just so that the wealthy conglomerates can become even more wealthy.

It wouldn't have taken very much effort for him to have written a rider into the bill that says that only the children of a farms' principal owners are exempt from protection from child labor laws.
