Who is "making" your children work?

Their parents and business owners. But, if you really want think your child should work when they are under the age of 10, there are some opportunities in Asia for that. Just make sure they can sew.

Just as skilled labor takes advantage of skills gaps to get paid well.

Right, like it's that easy to

1) Have good support from parents.

2) Have enough money to pay for good schools and tutors.

3) Use your personal networks of upper class and middle class people to make powerful business contacts to get a good job.

Lol, you think these are all something poor people have access to. They don't.

Let me ask you a question.

If having all of these advantages don't mean anything, why are almost all indicators of health, education, job opportunities, all higher and better for people who come from rich families?

You don't have answer. Rich families have better access to all of the things that people want to live a happy and healthy life.

There is a high correlation for all of these life indicators to people who come from upper class and upper middle class families.

If people were to believe the lies that libertarians say, then it would be just as likely for Harvard grads to come from the working class neighborhoods as from the upper class neighborhoods.

It's all bullshit.

So dont sign up for it

You are right, people can choose to be homeless. Or live off their parents money. Or spend the summer at the beach house.

Man of these regulations were already in place / were becoming mainstream at the time anyway.

Complete bullshit. Read some history that's not cherry picked by your libertarian "sources".

its almost like its NOT the 1800s that's weird.

So, before you said history was on your side, then you said here history shouldn't be used to support claims on modern politics. Which is it?

I don't expect you to change your mind, you are clearly drinking the koolaid.

We need government regulations and laws to protect us from powerful business interests who have poisoned, killed, maimed, and stolen from people.

American Libertarianism is a lie perpetrated by people who want to wage class warfare against people who benefit from government programs and regulations and don't have the means to protect themselves from powerful interests out to take advantage of these differences in power.
