Follow Up

Yesterday, in a post I titled "Swedish Meatballs," I pointed to a piece written by Allan Carlson which deconstructed the myth of the success of Sweden’s socialist tendencies with an emphasis on the failure of child welfare laws.  Today, Skip Oliva, at The Rule of Reason, links to and comments on this post by John Holzmann which looks at H.R. 3139. H.R. 3139 is being molded in Congress as the “Youth Worker Protection Act.” Has a nice socialist ring to it doesn’t it?  Anyway, here’s the first paragraph from Holzmann’s post.

"There is a a horrible new bill before the House of Representatives titled the “Youth Worker Protection Act,” HR3139. If it makes its way through Congress, I believe we’re about to see virtually all students under 18 become wholly unemployable."

If you still cling to the illusion that the U.S. is not becoming socialist, take the time to read Carlson’s piece and the posts on H.R. 3139.

Permalinks at The Rule of Reason are currently not functional.  Scroll down to Skip Oliva’s post entitled "Stopping Child Labor Before it Starts."
