O.K. hows this for an idea. Make it against the law for parents to give pocket money to their children after the age of 15 years. If they want new clothes, a car, gas for the car, all the latest audio equipment etc., let them start cutting lawns, pulling weeds, babysitting, bagging in grocery stores, running errands, working for the farmers, and so on ( all the jobs the illegals now do supposedly, (((cough-cough)))) to earn the money themselves. This would cut down on their time to join gangs, teach them a little responsibility and cut out the jobs and reason the government insists we need illegals for.


This method worked when we were growing up, why can't it work again?

It could, if some laws are changed. Many states have limits on the number of hours, age and type of jobs school children can work. They say it interferes with their school work. I say the kids don't put any more time into studies, it all goes to goofing off.
