    I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.

    The fact that “how it used to be” in your childhood produced a scumbag like you is a compelling argument to not let people’s childhoods be like that anymore.

      Also, this is complete and utter bullshit. I’m older than Ron boy, and child labor laws predate me. The folks picking crops in the fields in the 80’s and 90’s were the same immigrants that are (or were, I guess) doing it today. And anyone who attended Yale almost certainly wasn’t out picking crops as a kid. Like most members of the GOP, he has zero attachment to reality.
