Should we also get rid of those pesky child labor laws? And what about laws keeping companies from dumping toxic chemicals into water ways? Let's be honest. If we want to keep our standard of living, we will never be able to compete costwise with dictatorships that do not listen to the wishes of their people.

I have no problems with the Child Labor Laws. Even leaving out the moral issues involved, children would not be efficient workers for the kind of economy the US has. As to toxic dumping -- well, I think we've learned that it costs way more money to clean up what gets dumped than to prevent the dumping in the first place. Basically, I think adults should just take care of themselves and stop asking the government to.
