Okay, I will. Thank you.
But I can’t help but think back to the picture of a sad five-year old who was force to work in a textile mill before capitalism was regulated to prevent child labor.

And now days, a 10 year old can't even get a paper route any more. Thanks to overzealous regulators.
Oh, gag me. If working on a farm was so great than nobody would have worked in a factory to begin with. Progressive policies are a great way to keep the lower classes down by restricting the job markets. How about increasing the minimum wage some more? How about a guaranteed 13 weeks of vacation? Gotta make sure to have affirmative action hires! How else can we make America less competitive? Your progressive tendencies ruin people's lives to make reality fit your world view. It's not compassionate. It's unconscionable.
First off, big business in the late 1800's created many opportunities and lifted numerous people out of poverty. The big government's New Deal boondoggle kept millions of people stuck in poverty for more than a decade. It's crazy for one to think that the industrial revolution in the 19th century created hardships worse than the tyranny from the strong central governments throughout history like the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Vichy France, Fascist Italy, Communist China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The freest markets in the world have the least poverty like Hong Kong, Singapore, and historically the United States. Why do you think that is?
