Yes, Newt. Of course<\/i> we should get rid of all those awful unionized<\/i> janitors (Damn them for seeking a working wage! Out, out I say!), and let all those high schoolers (or perhaps middle schoolers) whose families are struggling to get by go to work for some no-minimum-wage-need-apply<\/i> pay to sweep the school corridors. That's just<\/i> what we need to advance toward prosperity and justice and the American Way.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeaking at Harvard Newt Gingrich spoke out against child labor laws saying they \u201centrap\u201d young people. The solution? Fire unionized janitors so underage children can take their jobs. Put adults with families out of work to help poor children.
\u201cYou say to somebody, you shouldn\u2019t go to work before you\u2019re what, 14, 16 years of age, fine. You\u2019re totally poor. You\u2019re in a school that is failing with a teacher that is failing. I\u2019ve tried for years to have a very simple model,\u201d he said. \u201cMost of th…\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
