Newts' New Labor Law

Newt Gingrich, a man who was once (and only once) Speaker of the House during the Clinton presidency, was fired from his position by his own party, wants to put public school kids (minority and poor) to work as janitors to learn how to work to develop a work ethic. REALLY!!?

.

This is coming from a man who used his Speakership position for personal and political gain, and forced a government shutdown. This is coming from a man who handed divorce papers to his first wife in the hospital, recovering from cancer, while having an affair with another woman. This is coming from a man who divorced his second wife who came down with sclerosis while cheating on her with Calista (now his third wife). This is coming from a man who led a personal and Republican vendetta to impeach President Clinton for having an affair while he was in the middle of his own affair, and yet he believes he can teach kids to be ethical.

.

Let us pray the ousted Speaker does not become president. If so, school children 9 and up will be made to work while Gingrich dismantles current child labor laws. Donald Trump already has given his blessings and is now licking his chops and wringing his hands in hopes of starting up a new child sweat shop of janitorial "apprenti".

.

If Gingrich does become president, you can bet kids will work in other industries other than the janitorial services. Gingrich will revive his Contract with America that involves eliminating the public school system and usher in "education camps" where poor and minority kids will learn to serve their rich employers. Cleaning toilets is just the beginning, but with Gingrichs' plan to introduce new child workers to the workforce, kids will replace adult workers (thus also eliminating unions) in other areas of employment and work for pennies on the dollar with no health plan.

.

However, another Republican (the governor of Maine) already has a plan to address the issue of child labor laws that would allow the kids to work right next to mommy and daddy in any remaining factories. Maybe this will bring back the 50,000 companies that moved out of the country during the economically deregulated Bush years.

.

With a little help from "employers" like Trump, the idea is to get the children of the less financially successful citizens trained and gainfully employed by the age of 14. Affluent families and industries will be happy to know that their hard earned investment in the Republican party will yield well trained servants to tend to their every needs in and out of the office, and at home.

.

Is this what is in store for America if highly unethical Republicans like Gingrich are elected into office, and with House Speaker Boehner to write such laws?
