Topic: Dept. of Labor to prohibit children from working on family farms

[Glock32]

H/T: Small Dead Animals

Another day, another attack on traditional American institutions. Something as old as civilization itself, the family farm, is incompatible with obamunism. The cherry on top is denying independent private organizations such as 4-H and FFA, and instead forcing young agriculturalists to go through the Federal government for training.  Everything must be oriented to the government.

    The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families’ land.

    Under the rules, children under 18 could no longer work “in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials.”

    [...]

    The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.

I am straining to hear the sound of a shot, don't hear anything yet...

That's because they haven't yet sent out "inspectors" to family farms to trespass, issue citations and fines.

Ahh...

I guess some people are waiters and others aren't...

 

Waiters better also be preparers!

 You might be a little early to the party. I bet farmers will bounce them off their land.

Yep, the day they come to my house to try, they will be given one warning  I have no intention of complying and then I will start shooting. After that, let what comes, come. I am done with them, and their bullying.

This issue brings this event to mind:

Health department tyrants raid local 'farm to fork' picnic dinner, orders all food to be destroyed with bleach

I would not have poured bleach on all that food.  Period.

[Libertas]

The ones requiring a good bleaching are the Labor & Health Nazi's!

[John Florida]

  How did they get on the property to begin with?? Why were they not tossed off like the trespassers that they were?

[Libertas]

They're Nazi's JF, Nazi's don't need no stinking permission, no warrant, nothing.

Do you ever wonder how much more meddling and petty ministration we are subject to than were the American colonists? The Crown committed certain notorious offenses against the colonies, but for the most part one was left alone in their day to day affairs.

I'm reminded of a Tocqueville quote, though I can't remember the exact verbiage. He imagined some future society where technology and the means of communication had become such that even the pettiest aspect of an individual's life could be subject to State oversight, and he suggested this must be the worst tyranny of all because it effectively shuts off even temporary escape into oneself. He certainly was a prescient man.

[Libertas]

I think this hits the mark.

"I]f the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them." - Candidus, Reference: Original Intent, Barton (259); original Boston Gazette (January 20, 1772)

Latter day American's find it all to easy to drop to their knees...

I get vegetables from a CSA (different state) every summer (no garden--long story) and they have two farm dinners every summer.  Never been.  Might have to make an effort to go this year. 

Like a broken record...

If I'd been there I would have told the owners to ask for a warrant and then I would have proceeded to gather the food and claim it as mine or handed it off to others there.

People I can't be everywhere!  You gotta do some of this on your own.

3. Which segues into the Obama regime's move to outlaw children working on farms and ranches. There are several motives for this. First, they want to eliminate the next generation of farmers and ranchers so that nationalization of all food production can be hastened and facilitated. Second, they want to force farmers and ranchers to hire and employ unionized labor, who will then effectively dictate how and what farmers and ranchers produce, and eventually drive them into insolvency and government takeover (see General Motors, et al). Third, they want to break the spirit of the young toward any desire to work, be productive or be independent. They want every single person to view work as something to be avoided at all costs, and total government support as the only "fair" lifestyle, to which they are "entitled".

I really wonder what the injury/death rates compared are with

Children on farms, compared to children in neighborhoods full of Obama voters.

well, you know on farms you gotta worry about gangs and their unregistered tractors killing a kid walking home from school
