It's on ABC's 20/20 right now. Tonight it includes the government's laws against letting young kids into the labor force. I love this reformed lefty... :p

Well, here's some fodder to keep you busy in the mean time. Do you think "kids" should be allowed to hold a job? Is it OK for YOU to hire them to cut your lawn or baby sit?

How about a related topic such as the minimum wage law? Is it any of our government's business what an employer pays an employee? Do you pay the kid that cuts your lawn a "minimum" wage? How about the baby sitter? Why not? Why should you be exempt from minimum wage laws? Hmmmm? ;)
