The return of child labor is right up there with the loss of abortion rights in terms of shocking backslides but people don't seem to care as much about it.

I'm so tired of the media.
They're right tho. Midwest Republicans are the small business parties, their whole schtick is competing to see who can pummel workers the hardest in order to get the local Hardee's franchise owner's vote.
Nationally Democrats are the party of finance capital, but in the heartland states the local parties have enough ties to unions and labor advocacy groups that it would be political suicide to introduce a bill like this. Even if individual Dems voted for this bill or wanted it to pass, only the GOP has a mandate from their base to actually propose it.
