| Message | We do not see anything wrong with REGULATED child labor. We do not believe in outlawing child labor within family businesses or traditional youth jobs (bicycle paper carrier, golf caddy or hotel bell-hop, ext). The regulations are stringent enough. |

| Message | Also, might I add that allowing children below the age of sixteen to work in the low-risk aforementioned youth jobs can serve as good teachers of personal and financial responsibilities and necessary self-reliance skills that will help children prepare for the working world. |
