Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead

Before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field, before child labor laws that precluded that.

"Back in my day I ate shit so you can too" is never a good argument for anything. That line of thinking just justifies societal regression. We want our children to have it easier, not replicate our same struggles over and over again. Boomer worldviews need to die.

He added, "I mean, how many people got their start in fast-food restaurants when they were kids, versus just giving a blanket rule that gives all kids lunches in high school who are capable of going out and actually getting a job and doing something that makes them have value, thinking about their future instead of thinking about how they’re going to sponge out the government when they don’t need to."

Fucking toddlers sponging off the government.

Imagine not wanting to feed hungry children.

This is prelude to prove they are intelligent enough to understand consent. Watch

Looks for the Onion logo, isn't finding it

Oh my God he's serious,.

Uh, no, fuck you! MAGA piece of shit.

His name is Rich, lol

Cartoon vilain-ass

"Who can actually go out there and do something that makes them have value and work skills for the future?" McCormick said.

Children have no value unless they're producing something.

• Republicans

"Why don't we just enslave the poor?"

Even in the reddest of red states, a first grader isn't going to be working at McDonalds. They wouldn't even be able to understand how even if they were tall enough to reach anything there, which they aren't.

Republicans: We're garbage human beings and let us prove it to you.

Americans: Hey, we should vote these guys in.

Hope everyone's ready for some dark times.

Diagnose: capitalism, final stage

Oh yeah, 8 year old me should have just pulled myself up by my bootstraps back in the day. Jeez, fuck these guys.

Why? These poor, worthless souls don't even want to work! Instead, I have A Modest Proposal...

Children yearn for the mines.

MAGA playing their role well. Making child labor great again.

Way back when I was in high school our economics teacher told us that the money one earns from a job during high school was less than the money one would make in six months if one studied and got a high school diploma first much less got a job that required a college degree.

But that was when the federal government created a budget surplus.
