And what's with those child labor laws, too? Any kid who has a parent that wants to contract the kid out to work somewhere or to sell the kids organs should be free to do so as long as they get a lawyer involved to make sure the contract is valid. Not to even mention the safety laws that were passed before there was even an OSHA.
I hear ya', the government should stay completely out of contracts. It's about time the Chinese are allowed to contract with Berkshire Hathaway to import opium, too. Just like the good old days when the Brits were advocates of the "invisible hand" fisting everyone except the nobility.
straw-man much?
Yep, it was horrible, just HORRIBLE I say, that one parent could support the family and the other RAISE their children.
Problem with those Socialist tendencies, from the R or L...that pesky Constitution and the simple English it’s written.
Course, even when children *had* to work, in our recent past, their 8th grade education still produced some of the finest minds to usher in our early 20th century.
