A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district members of Congress. But now it’s attracting barbs from farm kids themselves.
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.”
“Prohibited places of employment,” a Department press release read, “would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”
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.
Rossie Blinson, a 21-year-old college student from Buis Creek, N.C., told The Daily Caller that the federal government’s plan will do far more harm than good.
“The main concern I have is that it would prevent kids from doing 4-H and FFA projects if they’re not at their parents’ house,” said Blinson.

Why is it that government wants to intrude, yes intrude, in our every day lives? Just another example of why BIG government is plain bad. Shut Up and Fish!

Oue life style is being destroyed. Can't blame it all on nobama it has been going on for years. These kids are about the last chance the country has. They are the only ones who are growing up as they have for decades. There are no jobs for most of the others because aliens are taking "the jobs nobody wants". It is not even all things controlled by the government. I got one od those the way we were emails the other day showing our cars and the things we did in the 50's and 60's. They played a lot of songs, one of which was "tell Laura I love her. That song was banned from many radio stations. It would be banned as too tame by todays standards. It is normal for every generation to complain about the music the kids play but it has gone farther then that. I even tolerated disco with no complaints. I think my generation was about the last that grew up with few limitations on our future. I would hate to think how I would cope with the way things are today. The saddest thing is todays kids have no clue of what it should be for them Except maybe farm kids. Lets hope the South will rise again. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

"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".
What is my response to all of this? It is very simple, and I am being as serious as pancreatic cancer when I say this:
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE GUNS."
The above was a response by Ann Barnhardt. Says it like it is and not afraid. If you feel up to it, go to her website, it does change daily.

Forgot to add more of her response:
"If any government thugs show up on a farm or ranch and attempt to "make examples" of parents who are working side-by-side with their children, the parents should advise the government thug that they have ten seconds to vacate the premises. If that doesn't happen, the parents should exercise their God-given right to self-defense, as specifically codified in the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Aim small, miss small. All Americans should be carrying side arms and have long guns positioned for easy access on the home front. It has come to that. Further, if any parents are arrested or any children are removed from farms or ranches under this tyrannical edict, militias should form and muster and the parents should be liberated and the children restored to their home by said militias. It is that simple."

What if they unionize and pay income taxes? And those illegal babysitters too. What next, stop children from selling drugs to shield their parents from the law.
