What about sending kids to college to become industrial or IT engineers ? They could automate or improve efficiency in areas where cheap manual labour isn't necessary ! They could also do research, to keep America at the leading edge of the industry ! Oh wait, it means planning for the future economy. And it means universities, mostly operated by governments. This all sounds socialist, hence is bad. It also means that children from the minorities will have a future where they're paid better than you, it's inconceivable. And anyone won't just be able to hire a poor child to profit from is work, so it's bad for the short term economy. Am I right or wrong, on why republicans want that law ?

>keep America at the leading edge of the industry That was never the plan. Turns out you can enjoy a pretty excessive lifestyle on the cost of exploiting your population. If you can keep them at bay physically (overtime) and financially (living wage) you might as well keep doing this forever. What are they gonna do? Protest during the 8 free hours they got a day? Run for any significant political position with the 2 dollars left from their living wage? Of course children from minorities could have a future but why care about that when you're well off? What if approaching neo-feudalism was the goal, not a side effect?
