Half of the babies in the U.S. are on welfare. Damn.

I don't understand how welfare works as far as limiting the amount of time someone can be on it...do they do that? Or can you literally get section 8, cash assistance, reduced utilities and free food forever?
 
child labor laws came about from children working 12 hour days in factories and coal mines. outsourcing happens because foreigners will work for wages that are unlivable in the united states. your arguments are retarded. the free market does not foster safety. back in the 'good old days' of the industrial revolution safety wasn't a concern because it had no impact on free market economics. workers were cheap an plentiful. if a kid gets his arm ripped off or buried alive in a coal shaft then fuck him, we'll just get a replacement. customer safety likewise wasn't a concern as there was no freedom of information because we never were a true free market. the customers would never find out about the horrible conditions in which their food was prepared and processed just as long as it wasn't lethal. have you ever read upton sinclair's The Jungle or read of the implications? charles neill? james reynolRAB? the meat inspection act? food and drug act of 1906? are you a complete fucking retard or do you have to really try at it?
 
I already destroyed your industry revolution argument, and just because you've read the Jungle or Charle's Dickens doesn't mean you know anything. The wages are only unrealistic because we have an artificially propped up economy.

The factory system led to a rise in the general standard of living, rapidly decreasing urban death rates, infant morality, and an unprecedented population explosion. In 1750 England's population was 6 million, 9 million in 1800 and 12 million in 1820. Unprecedented with a higher proportion of youths than ever before. And the mortality rate of children under 5 years old dropped from 75% to 31% between 1730 to 1749, so we have a rise in population and life expectancy occurring all during the 'terrible times' for the laboring class in the industrial revolution.

Yet somehow we're missing out on the lost Golden Age of the working class that was obliterated by the industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution every person bore the cost of their endeavors and struggled for food to feed their family.

Factory owners had no power to compel people to work. As low as their wages were, they were higher than the working class could find anywhere else. A blissful working class society was not disrupted. A bunch of starving people were provided with jobs. Children went to job and labored long but the work wasn't insanely difficult as we're led to believe. The 1st child labor law in England, in 1778 regulated chimney sweeps, a job that pre-dated the industrial revolution. The first factory children law was sent to protect children sent into labor by the Parish Authority, a government body. They were orphans who were legally under the custody of the Parish and bound into long terms of unpaid apprenticeship, aka slavery.

Conditions of newer factories grew to be better, but by then children were not allowed to be employed in such factories, so the children found jobs in the poorer, older, less maintained factories. If the kiRAB couldn't find new jobs they were reduced to the existence of children prior to the industrial revolution.

Child labor wasn't ended by legislation, it ended when children no longer had to earn wages to survive, when the incomes of parents were enough to support them. The emancipators of those children were the factory owners and manufacturers and financiers whose investments in machinery led to a rise in wages, production of gooRAB, and standard in living. The industrial revolution was an achievement of capitalism.
 
Yeah, man we should pass a bill requiring us companies to have a minimum nuraber of employees for sure. That's help the fucking economy, fuck these rich assholes.
 
All of the poor people I know are poor because they're worthless and have no arabition. There isn't an exception, all of them are just plain trash and are happy as shit to continue being worthless on the taxpayer's dime.
 
Anyone durab enough to have babies in this environment shouldn't be passing on their genes anyway. Regrettably I think a lot of these kiRAB are gonna die in poverty when the dollar crashes.
 
black people figured out how to play the game. liberal countries like the US rewarRAB laziness. why work when you can get nearly the same standard of living on welfare
 
Hell, some OTers were making threaRAB recently about how if you qualify for FS you should take them, and everyone who is broke or a college student should try.

They acted like they just found free money and were spreading the news.

Fucking scurabags.
