Shameless! Missouri GOP Wants to Repeal Child Labor Laws.

3. I should hope so!
I'm just agog that any politician, much less group of politicians, would have the utter audacity to propose something so repugnant. What could possibly be next?

5. Don't speculate, you might give them ideas.
Last fall saw a slate of overwhelmingly conservative idiots take power in the legislature. They are coming up with all kinds of crazy ass shit, and our only bulwark against the madness is our governor.

2. The GOP wants to return to the '80s - the 1880s!

4. And even if enacted, wouldn't that law be in conflict with existing laws that compel children
to be publicly educated? You can't equate vocational with educational.

6. How disgusting!
Soon they'll be behind the buying and selling of children as cheap labor as well, not just suggesting child labor is ok.
