Time to put children to work
I am tired of them freeloading on their parents and the state. If they want health insurance let 'em go to work like everyone else. Once they are out of diapers and have a vocabulary of ten or more words there are lots of jobs they can do.
Sure some folks might fear that corporations may exploit them and cause wages to be lowered, but corporations have always been the backbone of America and have always treated their workers fairly.
This would also alleviate the pressure on the school systems and lower teacher to student ratios for those children who can can make good use of school.
Thank you,
Ubberrich Whiteman
Republican.

1. As long as they can work, they don't need taxpayer supported education!

3. That's right! If their parent's can't afford to send them
to private school...they shouldn't be having them! Why do these people expect the rest of us hardworking taxpayers should have to foot the bill for their kids education? :sarcasm: (I hope I didn't really need that!)

2. Mexican children MUST work. I have seen this 30 years ago when I lived in CA.

4. Still true somewhat today
I live in heavily Hispanic town. If the parents have a business the kids work in it. Most of the Hispanic kids have a job before they are 16.
