Nanny State vs. Family Farm
"Children can't work on their own farms," Elena Maria Vidal reports — The War on the Family Farm. She quotes:
- Last August, the Department of Labor looked around, scratched its head, and decided the new thing it should focus on was applying child labor laws to agricultural settings. Offhand, you're thinking, "Well, shouldn't they be applied?" Well, sure. In a corporate feed lot. What we're talking about here is the use of children on farms that those children's families own. Put into practice, these laws will, in the words of a Department of Labor press release, prohibit children under the age of 18 from "being employed in the storing, marketing, and transporting of farm product raw materials."

Well, I grew up on a small family farm, and the work outside never hurt me any. In fact, I think it is about as great a way to grow up as possible...
That may well be one reason they don't want any more children to have it.
