Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, a filthy little commie pig, is making a bald faced attempt to destroy all family farms ~ and replace them with Soviet kholkhoz methods AND Chicom communes.

This Stalinist apparatchik must be purged

“The Department of Labor did not respond to repeated requests for comment.”

You must obey.

I suspect the motivation for this stupid thing is to make American farmers even more reliant on illegal labor. Has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting children.

We are no longer free... Every second of our lives will be dictated by government. We must vote these A-holes out and that means republicans too. Replace them with everyday people who know what it is like to earn a living, pay taxes,live within a budget, balance a check book and raise a family.
Put down the McDonald's burger, turn off Ellen, The View, and the sports channel and get involved. Your children's future depends on it.

More governmental intrusion in areas where they have NO business, IMO. The American farming family has done just fine without Big Bro’s intrusions on what the kids can or cannot do. Kids growing up on farms know they have chores, and guess what, they grow to be some of our most productive citizens (just my opinion). We can’t have that now, can we?

FUBO

A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores

All you need is the government!

If people don't see the total & utter destruction that is happening piece by piece in America, they're blind.

God help us all.

If my father didn't have me in my teen years he wouldn't be able to get his 800 acres of cotton and soybeans out. We are under a tyranny.

In understanding the Luciferian agenda, it’s not about illegals, either, it’s about FAMILIES as an autonomous unit of society.

They hate that.

I have never met an OSHA inspector who thought that kids working on the farm was OK.

“And in my view, if the federal government can regulate the kind of relationship between parents and their children on their own family’s farm, there is almost nothing off-limits in which we see the federal government intruding in a way of life.”

Exactly. These bastards won’t stop until they are controlling everything that goes in or out of our eyes, minds, and bodies.

This is full-out war on what America is all about. Everything about this foreign enemy combatant in the White House is geared toward destroying the fabric of this nation and turning it into bottom-feeding scum.

....farmers could soon find The Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division inspectors on their land, citing them for violations.....

I can say that in a lot of states this will effect there is a lot of empty ground, in out of the way places that “DOL Wage and Hour Division inspectors” could get “lost” in trying to reach farms/ranches to enforce this law. West Texas, parts of Idaho, Montana. This just plain stupid.

The oppressive federal government has to keep teenagers from helping on their family farms “as soon as August.” After all, illegal aliens are looking for work or they’ll go back to Mexico and the Democrats will be deprived of their votes in November.

There will be hell to pay in farm country when the pencil pushers come out to check on this outrageous rule. Democrat legislators will be thrown out of office in rural districts.

Typical top-down meddling from this crowd; google the depression-era Schecter Brothers from Brooklyn for an amusing look at this kind of thing.

Everywhere you look; how many Van Jones/Anita Dunns/Valerie Jarrets does it take to convince a person?

I don't know nor can I conceive of any farm or ranch families that will take this seriously.

The concept of families as the basic unit of society is the chief competitor to the communist view of the government as the basic unit of society. Who should tuck the children in bed? Who should teach them about life? Who should feed and clothe them? The reason the communists need to destroy the US economy and make sure that people don’t have jobs is because if people have jobs they will be able to provide for their families; if they have no job the government will have to step in and become the provider, protector, teacher, etc for all the kids.

Hitler did the same thing in Germany. Anything he could do to get the kids away from the influence of their parents.

Some of the kids at school recommended that I read a book called “The Giver” (can’t remember the author). Very thought-provoking. It’s where the society has chosen to control every aspect of life so all outcomes are known and the same. There are no families. There is no love. There is no freedom. It’s very safe, very comfortable. But very fake.

Very much like what Obama is trying to shape this country into being.
