Reply #203: I dunno. What is wrong with a 9-year-old using hazardous chemicals....

[Moonwalk]

To clean toilets, instead of doing school work--i.e., no labor laws means he can work instead of going to school--and doing it for a pittance that won't buy him much, instead of the money going to a unionized adult janitor who not only can better handle such hazardous chemicals, but use the fair wage the union got him to feed his family?

Please don't compare apples and oranges here. Newt isn't suggesting that kids start lemonade stands on the weekend or that teens to work the register at a burger joint over the summer. He wants to take away jobs from adults, take away the unions that make sure those adults get a fair wage, and give them to kids (no union to make sure they're safe or earning a fair wage or working fair hours) even those now considered hazardous for kids.

Does that really sound right to you?
