By saving children from the evils of capitalism they starve them. Real bright but as these folks are largely the shills of organized labor, they really don't give a damn.

I'm certainly not in favor of child labor, but for most of the history of humankind children worked in the fields along side their parents. That or starve.

The reality is that child labor ended in nations that grew wealthy first, then those nations could afford to ban the practice. People who get the order of things backwards are doing great harm.

In the liberal's fantasy world it is better for a child to starve than to have to work. It is better for a child to be raped and murdered than to condemn homosexual pedophiles. It is better for a woman to be raped and strangled to death with her pantyhose than to carry a gun to defend herself.

I'll never forget my trip through a bamboo furniture factory in the southern Philippines. Boys worked AND lived in the factory, they were healthy, had some money, were safe from the horrible alternative of living on the squalid streets, and were happy and friendly to visitors. We saw the entire factory, not just model workshop.

. The libs would like to protect them by taking away their jobs? Nasty. Very nasty.

Meanwhile, in Cuba, a tour of a cigar factory, a model one set up for tourists, revealed the most unhappy downtrodden workers you ever saw, each one whispering to passing tourists, asking for a handout. They were adult workers, reduced to acting like helpless children. Disgusting socialismo at work.
