First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.
China’s revolution could be summarized as a war against the landlords. America’s revolution will be a war against the Franchise Owners.
Well of course, their tiny hands and lack of skill and endurance mean that they’re less productive. So that should be compensated for by taking out their lunch break. And unemployment benefits? If they got those, no child would ever want to work!
Finally, a sensible bill that will help bootstrap kids back to the coal mines.
