The measure proposed by Obama's blatantly socialist hag Hilda Solis would have prevented kids from doing labor...IE...chores...on their family's farms such as...storing, marketing and transporting farm product raw materials...eggs? ...milk? ...hay and straw? ...chickens?
The measure also would have prohibited them from stacking hay and straw in a loft and operating machinery or handling and showing of animals.
This isn't the first time this sleazy administration has attempted to pull a fast one on the family farmer.
Just over a year ago they were trying to push for anyone operating a tractor / tiller / combine etc to obtain a CDL in order to use the machinery.
THAT idea went down in flames also...which is'nt surprising that the administration would be back with another anti-farm scheme to replace it.
Kids have been helping and doing chores on their family farmsteads since long before this country was founded. Not only is the operation of the family farm a PRIVATE matter that the DOL should stay the hell away from but it's also a parental issue in which the government has no business sticking it's beak into.
What next? Dictating to parents that doing dishes or taking out the trash is illegal for their kids to do too?
How about mowing lawns? A lawn mower is also "farm machinery" which pretty much would have stopped Junior from mowing the lawn and also making a few good summertime bucks mowing the neighbor's lawns too.
What I believe Solis's motive was / is... was to eliminate a section of the workforce (farm kids) and leave the family farmer stuck with having to hire someone...which would likely be an illegal since she's so PRO-illegal alien or be stuck doing everything himself.
The pro-Obama idiots out there have been defending this asshole by stating "It was Solis...not Obama!"
Well sure you could say that and technically be correct had the fact not existed that HE hired her knowing full well that she is a moonbat socialist with pro illegal alien leanings and a history of anti-Americanism...just like many of his appointees...and for the fact that he never stepped in and stopped her moonbat ass from trying.
This entire administration is chock full of shitbags who's interests run 180 degrees counter to American values.
Typical liberal agenda...first they made kids stupid via the dumbed down public school system and now they're trying to make them all lazy by banning common chores.
What better way to usher in the next generation of lazy idiots who become dependent on the government to seek salvation via the freebies offered by the democraps?
A huge part of American exceptionalism is the fact that our farmers can still feed the entire planet while most other nations can't produce enough to feed themselves.
Only a liberal would look at that as a "bad thing" and try to subvert it.
What better way to subvert it than to eliminate the future of farming by destroying the means to learn it firsthand?
Banning kids from working on their family's farm...where the hell are we...
Cambodia circa 1975 working toward "Year Zero"?
...kind of explains Obama's logo symbol pretty well.

I do agree with the basis of your post. Where I veer away, perhaps, is the fact that farmers have been feeding at the national government's trough for quite some time (I grew up in Iowa). Farmers blew it once they found out they could be subsidized by the national government. This is the result and it's their own fault, IMO.
There is absolutely no reason to raise your children to be responsible, hard working or honorable. After all, the government is going to provide for their every need.
Mrs AL
Some farmers taking subsidies and the government dictating to parents what chores are able to be legally performed are different ballgames altogether.
This was just another example of the govt trying to stick it's toe over the line in order to gage the reaction.
Had nothing been said they'd have stepped over a little further.
If they can dictate MY kid's chore list...what will stop them from dictating YOUR family's chores?
Maybe doing dishes is "dangerous" if you own a garbage disposal?
Maybe that lawn mower is deemed "too hazardous"?
Maybe the garbage is too heavy?
Maybe the snow shovel is too demanding or the environment it's used in is too harsh?
Anytime we've given the govt an inch...they've come back demanding more.
It has to stop someplace.
As for subsidies...don't be fooled into believing that EVERY farmer is getting one.
I know a lot of farmers and very few of them are getting anything for free except for a hard time.

Indeed.
God forbid that kids learn the lessons of being responsible and productive...they might grow up and act hostile toward the terminally lazy who have no idea HOW to work and take a little pride in a job well done.
Leave it to the Obama administration to try and quash the last bastion of kids who understand what a work ethic is.
Well, Sepp, then those farmers you know might want to consider raising a stink. While my experience in this area is much differrent than yours, the info needs to get out there, eh?
He was catching hell by the bucketload which is the ONLY reason he dropped it.
Nov 6 cannot come fast enough.

Great post and comments. This stuff just never ends does it?
Sepp- Glad to see that you got your shit up and running. Good to have you back.
I can not speak about life on a farm, but I agree with you 100% about the chores. My daughter does them and she does NOT receive an allowance either.
However, the government has been interfering in Americans raising their children for years. I remember the case of the Indiana Mom who had her two children removed, because she spanked one in a K-Mart parking lot. A f##king spanking, it's sickening......
Once again you're blowin' lies out your ass. The proposed law specifically excluded family farms.
Growing up in a farming community I remember classmates getting injured on farms and losing limbs. Hell, one fool kid even died while driving the family tractor on the farm.
We don't need no stinkin' child labor laws. This is free America and everybody know kids don't have no rights!
No moonbat, you're wrong.
If I have sole ownership of my farm...then yes, I AM exempt...but, IF I an a co-owner with another family member...as is the case with most family farms, the exemption is no longer there.
Do you EVER stop sucking Obama's dick?
Ever?
WTF business does your nasty-assed president have gain by trying to fuck over the hands that feed America...including your sorry ass?
