    | Easy rebuttal to Newt "Hire students as janitors".  No Newt.  Get jobs for their parents and let the | 
  
    |  | 
         students go to school and study or do extracurricular activities in their free time from school. |

    | 2. And then what happens when some child slips falls and breaks his neck when he's mopping the  floors? | 
  
    |  | Can you saw massive lawsuit?

    | 8. No because part of the Repub agenda is to stop all liability | 
  
    |  | suits completely, and to insure OSHA and other government agencies are wiped out (or at least not doing anything functional except creating a place for them to appoint their friends).
 If a poor child dies or is injured, so what?  Newt already does not believe that child has a right to food (free school lunch) or medical care or higher education.  Remember, the right to life begins at erection and ends at birth.

    | 3. Or running a floor buffer.  You can tell that Newt has never cleaned a floor in his life. | 
  
    |  | Or he wouldn't think that janitorial work is suitable for children. |

    | 4. I don't see how that rebuts Newt. | 
  
    |  | He wants lower paid workers in America; your "rebuttal" would mean higher paid workers. |

    | 5. Correct.  And students should be students, not cheap labor.  Provide decent jobs to parents and | 
  
    |  | there is no need to exploit children. |

    | 6. But then how could they fire all the janitors and maintenance people and chimney cleaners? | 
  
    |  | It's easier to lower kids down chimneys, you know. |

    | 7. As soon as they do away with | 
  
    |  |  the minimum wage laws per the IA puke platform and bring "pay in line with China" per Grassley. Bring the Chinese model of no retirement or healthcare from the Gov. per Bachman. We will need to put our kids to work. They are just laying the groundwork.
 Give the man credit for thinking ahead.

    | 10. "are there no prisons, are there no poorhouses?" | 
  
    |  | to quote scrooge.
 Apparently if we are willing to try hard enough, we can make things far worse.  Santorum says suffering is good, so elect a republican and things will be "great" as the suffering will not cease.
