Somebody Cue the 19th Century - You're Back on Stage Again
The Republican Party is trying to claim the anti-poverty
issue, when in fact what they have done for 30 years or so is claim the
anti-poor people issue. Here

LePage Says Children Should Work
Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) told a trade show audience that
12-year-olds should be allowed to work in Maine
Said LePage: "We don't allow children to work until they're 16, but two years later, when they're 18, they can go to war and fight for us. That's causing damage to our economy. I started working far earlier than that, and it didn't hurt me at all. There is nothing wrong with being a paperboy at 12 years old, or at a store sorting bottles at 12 years old."
