true that it won't affect your child on your farm. however, jobs that have been held by teens for years in the country will be affected.
every summer where i grew up kids went to work in the tobacco fields. around here it's tomato farms. that type of work would definitely be affected. many kids look forward to working in the tomato sheds around here-it's good money for about six weeks of work. the jobs go fast.
thank goodness the govt is here to protect our children from the adults. goodness knows that picking tobacco and boxing tomatoes is incredibly dangerous work. and no one in their family has the common sense to figure out whether a poor 16-17 year old child can do work or not. of course if they commit murder, they're an adult...but working on a farm?! oh, the humanity.

I think the country should split up. Let the smug idiot f.ucktard liberals take one side and the rest of us the other. We can deal with the radicals on our side. Just get these nerdy losers who were bullied in school out of our lives. Give them a statue of Karl Marx as a parting gift.

I'm all for it - the reality though is that probably 90% of the country has enough sense to realize that pitting side "A" against side "B" only serves as a smoke screen to mask the atrocities going on in government on both sides.

They are just too fat and too lazy to demand change.

Risk - NewsFlash: Bush was horrible, Obama is Horrible, Romney will be just as bad. and by the end of that term, pretty near all of your civil liberties will have been taken away.

Funny how Riot/Risk gets their proverbial tits caught in a vise when Ryan decides to wipe his asz with the Wisconsin state constitution, but defends the same actions on a federal level because they are democrats.

How about defending liberty and the constitution for once instead of thinking you're somehow being personally attacked when people point out how bad your pres is fucl<ing us?

You mean Walker in Wisconsin? 23,000 job loss? in 2011?

My tits were pretty upset about the whole Patriot Act and Bush Tax cut signing thing. You missed that in favor of partisan assumption, huh?

Actually, Danzig, the proposed changes only apply to kids under the age of 16.

I dislike Politifact, and I HATE linking to them, but even I have to admit they do a good job parsing the new regulations- for those who are actually interested in knowing what they are screaming about, here:

http://www.politifact.com/tennessee/...-rules-could-/

The long and short of it is that the regulations proposed are to minimize the chances of children under the age of 16 being injured or dying due to very specific circumstances, and very specific machinery. And even those dangerous machines are exempt if a child is working on his or her family farm. In addition, 4H programs get lots of exemptions.

So, read this piece, or read the actual legislation- I linked to it earlier. And then decide if you're upset about the legislation, or just want another excuse to Obama-bash and don't care if you're actually telling the truth about proposed legislation.

yeah, under 16's work there too. 14 and 15 year olds. i'm sure they'll be glad to know that big brother is there to keep them from earning some money this summer.
here in arkansas, kids can get hardship drivers licenses at 14. so, they can drive a car on the road with hundreds or even thousands of other cars, but for gods' sake, don't put them on a lawnmower.
