When Gingrich said in Iowa recently that "really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works," he was pandering to a popular view (made real to many in bad TV shows and movies) that has little basis in reality.


In fact, even some Republicans disavowed the generalization and said U.S. Census data easily disprove the idea.


Noted Ron Haskins, co-director of the Brookings Center on Children and Families and a former GOP congressional staff member: "Many [poor] mothers work," Haskins says. "If the economy were better, more would work, but they certainly have been setting an example."


According to the census, most poor children live in a household with at least one employed parent, and even among children in extreme poverty, nearly one in three lives with at least one working parent.


In 2010 there were 9.9 million single mother households with children under age 18, representing about 85 percent of all single-parent families with children. More than 65 percent of those mothers were employed.


But even if Gingrich had gotten the facts right, it should still appall us that he thinks poor children as young as 10 should work 20 hours a week as janitors. The idea is nothing to cheer.


At the turn of the 20th century, it became appallingly evident that children were being exploited as laborers in this country - often working under dangerous circumstances.


Gingrich's idea that kids work as school janitors doesn't improve upon that situation.


School janitors don't just sweep floors. They operate machinery, work with electrical systems, and do all kinds of jobs that require skill, dexterity and judgment that young people don't have.


Those were exactly the kind of unsafe conditions - as well as exploitive low pay - that led Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, to begin a visible push to protect young people through child labor laws. By 1938, Franklin Delano Roosevelt pushed through the Fair Labor Standards Act that put limits on the use of child labor.


Unfortunately, Gingrich and a slew of other politicians and business people have now glamorized that heartbreaking past and are trying to make child labor laws the villain in getting people jobs and building a work ethic.


Politicians in Maine enacted a law in May rolling back restrictions on the employment of minors, allowing those under 18 to work 24 hours a week - up from 20. Missouri lawmakers considered a bill to remove state restrictions on employing children under the age of 14 as well as increasing the hours children could work per day. U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has publicly questioned the constitutionality of federal anti-child-labor laws.


But if people want to lift poor children out of poverty - as Gingrich claims he wants to do - loosening or ending child labor laws is exactly the wrong path to take.


A good education is the documented way out of poverty. And studies are clear: The more students work, the lower their grades. Working also boosts dropout rates.


Those interested in the educational success and thus the life success of students have only to look at other countries whose students are outpacing us in that regard. Those students and their countries view school as a job. Students are discouraged from the kind of afterschool and weekend work U.S. teens do now.


The work ethic Gingrich and others should focus on is in the classroom.


Working hard on class work to boost academic performance is what will lift poor children out of poverty so they can become productive tax-paying citizens.


Unraveling child labor laws can only lead to the kind of child victimization this country rightly ditched a century ago.

Driven to adultery by his patriotism. Now there's a man who is not afraid to stand up and take responsibility. I assume that by being aware of his weaknesses he doesn't feel being President requires a lot of patriotism. That's our man, Newt!

I've concluded Dix is a "special" child. Anyone who suggests the main tasks of a person earning 6 figures is sweeping floors and cleaning toilets and that a 14 year old can replace them definitely deserves the title of "special".

The poor get an excellent introduction to working. What I am afraid of is that the rich do not. Therefore, I propose that we immediately give the inheritance of all trust fund babies back to the workers from whom it was stolen from, and set the trust fund babies to work in the coal mines. Our future depends on it.

Watermark, you are such an emo neotard. :D
 
“Child labor laws” says Newt Gingrich ” is really stupid.”

Get rid of the union janitors, Newt Gingrich wants to fire union workers, and hire children to work in schools as janitors. This would make child labor in China look like a picnic, if America adopts these draconian measures. Although Gingrich has no answers for where the adults will get their jobs from if they are fired. He doesn’t really have a plan, he is just busting unions again, which is a theme for the GOP in 2012. Break unions and demoralize American workers and pay them much less in wages, don’t pay benefits, or health care and take their Social security away at the same time.
That wraps up the republican plans for America for the next four years.

When did Newt Gingrich clean toilets?

We did a little back checking into Newt Gingrich’s background as a child and found some interesting facts.

Newt Gingrich never had a job as a child and never had to work to put himself through college as most teens do today. As the son of an army brat, who traveled through Europe with his parents, Newt was give a free education paid for by the US taxpayer.

A moocher. Through out his political career Newt has not really held a job for all those years. Newt has not worked since 1998, when he quit Congress, and he hasn’t been working.

Holding a seat in Congress is not a job, and they are free to miss as many votes as they please. Newt has not worked since 1979 and that was 30 years ago.

Gingrich quit at West Georgia College because he was denied tenure? Now he wants to kill union jobs, teacher’s jobs any American jobs.

While others were drafted into the military, Newt Gingrich in his soft, lilly white hands was attending high school, College, earning master degrees and totally bypassing the draft. Newt was an army brat, and lived in France eating bonbons.

His education was paid for by the taxpayer, who footed the bill for the education of military personnel while away from home.

“Your going to see from me, some very radical proposals to fundamentally change the culture of poverty in America, and to give people a chance to rise very rapidly” says Newt Gingrich.

To what? A nation of janitor children workers?

This is why most republicans are afraid if Newt Gingrich were to win the nomination, he would be shot down in an instant on this stupidity of child labor, and his sense of entitlement to the White House that he’s already measuring the curtains.

The only way we'll ever see Newt clean a toilet is if he has to take a shit on a toilet cleaned by a 12 yr old.
 
Newtzi and his Party have the best interests of the 1% at heart....
