Newt Gingrich: Poor Kids Don’t Work, They Get Cash Illegally
I almost can’t believe it, but Newt Gingrich is still out there promoting his plan to gut America’s child labor laws, fire the unionized janitorial staff in schools, and put those shiftless little bastards to work swabbing out the toilets.
Here’s Newt in Des Moines, Iowa, explaining that “poor kids” don’t work, have nobody around them who works, and get their money illegally. See? So he’s trying to help these poor urchins and teach them good habits, not heartlessly advocating a race-based permanent underclass (as it might appear at first glance).
Good grief. Can this kind of stuff really be playing well with the GOP base?
