WHAT THE HELL DUDE? [ link to blog.aflcio.org] Senator Claims U.S. Child Labor Laws Unconstitutional
Children working in factories, picking crops and hauling lumber on construction sites is a vision Mike Lee, the Republican senator from Utah, apparently wants to make a reality again in the United States. In a lecture on his YouTube channel, Lee explains in great detail why he believes U.S. child labor laws are unconstitutional.
In Lee’s view, the federal government doesn’t have authority to enact federal minimum wage laws, civil rights laws or to provide Medicare and Social Security.
Lee’s diatribe shows just how determined he and his ilk are to fight the gains workers have made.LET'S GO BACK TO THE EARLY 1900s... when kids were working 17-18 hours a day... 7 days a week and lived in shitholes! Let's go back to the robber barons era! Seriously, is this guy fucking retarded? |

So what's next, at the age of five all boys are sent to labor camps and all girls are sent to brothels. All humans at subjects to the supreme government. The sick fucks in our government, and the leaders of the mega-corps will never stop until we are all slaves. |
