WTF do X-boxes have to do with the equation? I've got a 17yo boy who would gladly dig a ditch for $14/hour, and yes he has an X-box.
No no no, You don't understand PEOPLE are either entertained couch potatoes or the Laboring Class. No one who has Nice toys has them because they work for them. Get it right. /senate
This is a clue, DANE. People on Free Republic do not accept Marxist economic stereo types as being connected to reality in any way let alone a valid way.
If your son wishes to work, no problem, the problem is with state govt.s that have put a myriad of under 18 labor laws restricting their entrance to the workforce.
So before you go blaming me, why don't you blame state govt.'s.
Glenn Beck when he was under 18 had the gumption to take a graveyard shift DJ job at a radio station, nothing wrong with that and his gumprion should be applauded, but when he gets on the radio and on TV and states that "companies should be choked to death" for who they hire for doing such good things such as building shelter, he is being hypocritical.
Especially in one of his first jobs the radio station probably violated under 18 labor laws which gave him his start in radio, which has become a very successful career for him.
