When there weren’t so many REGULATIONS on kids mowing lawns, working in the fields, etc....there were jobs for kids.
Don't tell me, let me guess. You're a Free Traitor, too. Ending over regulation doesn't change the fact that inflation has eroded the value of the dollar to the point that realistically you have to have ten dollars to buy the same thing you could buy for a buck in 1965 excluding the eye candy technology that people got along fine without. Meaning, to feed you damn family.
Of course, murdering you children to avoid the entanglements of a family is a good thing, right? Either wake up or quit making a fool of yourself. Over regulation is a separate issue from inflation/devaluation whether you like that fact or not.
