Farmers Barely Avoid New Child Work Rules

A new Department of Labor rule would have prohibited kids from working "in storing marketing and transporting farm product raw materials." Public outcry caused bureaucrats to back down, but what plans does the Obama administration have in store for us? Also, should the government get involved in banning child labor?


  • Less than 2% of the U.S. population lives on farms
  • Ideas and Capitalism brought children off the farm and into the schools, not the government
  • There are roughly 2 million farms in America
  • Child labor is NOT the reason our food is abundant and affordable!
