| Message | Ok. Article 1: What if a child wants to do a paper round or something? You ARE restricting workers rights. 2: So why should I make my farm better, bigger and more successful? It'll only be broken up and I'll lose all my hard work! No incentive to do good. 3: So you're FORCING employers to keep workers that make unreasonably high demands? That's tyranny if I ever saw it. You get my drift. Anti-capitalism DOESN'T WORK. |
