A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans

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.

    Maybe they should work to come to a compromise between child exploitation and not child exploitation. Like, say only 75% child exploitation?

      Wow, this is why people can't stand leftists. 75%?? Sweetie, the adults in the room are discussing whether to set it at 93% or compromise at 98%.
