stuckincincy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 NYS is pressuring the Amish over child labor laws. Amazing. I can't think of a group that puts less demands on society, that are as honest or self-sufficient. Their children are fine people, and are not being used or abused. The State has no business sticking their overarching nose in here, IMO. http://www.niagara-gazette.com/local/local...=secondarystory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton's Arm Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 New York State apparently feels it hasn't driven away enough good people yet, so now it's driving out the Amish. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford T. Justice Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 In future legislation, children can no longer perform more then 30 minutes of household chores a day and no greater then 2 hours a week. Stupid lawmakers, I'm greatful for hours of working on the farm as a kid doing harder work then most adults do now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 They could get around it if the kids owned the business. Even NYS couldn't stop them from owning their own business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
