Newt Gingrich responds to Child Labor Comments

Newt Gingrich responds to Child Labor Comments


I didn't have time to make this, but I had to do it anyway. Wish I had more time, but I have to go back to the grind tonight. Before I do, I just want to dedicate this medley to Joe and Mika. Every day I hear them laugh at Newt, I feel safe inside. (and this coming from a guy who bet 20 on 2 to1 odds for him to win the nomination 6 weeks ago)

If anyone wants to leave hateful comments at me for watching Morning Joe every day for the last 3 years, please make them rhyme. If you are in a hurry I will understand if they don't.

Now please enjoy watching:

That is a fair criticism. I agree there is nothing wrong with working as a kid, I started my first real job at 15. I do however disagree with the premise that the main contributing factor to poverty is that poor people don't know what hard work is, or have any role models in their community that work hard. That is completely backwards from my experience. It's hard not to think someone is naive for making it one of their 2 principles on fixing poverty.

What about rich children? Did they earn a penny of their parents money? Poor child already understand working idiots! With no one at home, no one to tutor them, no one to aid them, barely any food to eat, living at the minimum, crappy school and neighbourhoods, single parent homes etc who wouldnt be tempted to quit and sell drugs to never feel hungry again? Don't talk about being poor before you lived it! I have! AND NO FCUKING MAN who has never felt hunger will tell me that I fing dont know ho

babysitting, cutting grass and shoveling snow is not "work" it was considered "chores" when i was 13 and there is no way i would allow someone who thinks its ok to put 12 year olds to work, win the elections

This is catastrophic. The only politicians that see that poorer youngsters can't get into work, can't come up with good ideas to solve the problem!

According to Newt you only get failing schools in these poor areas, so the children should just quit education and become janitors! NO! You, that's YOU, Newt, should improve these schools so that the kids get a good education and don't have to do menial jobs for a living for the rest of their lives! IDIOT!

Holy shit, he just called the poor lazy. How did he get this far?

[burnshitfuckschool94]

Holy shit, he actually just called the poor

If anything, being poor makes you want to work harder in order to earn money: hunger is a motivating factor! Research studies proves this...My brother use to collect soda bottles when he was 12 and recycle them for money. He had a job at McDnlds as a teen as well. My mother worked as a nurse 16 hour days and another job on wkends. I had Summer jobs at a park funded by the city. We work still! It's due to lack of education and jobs that the poor turn to selling drugs or pimping and prostitution!

@bloweduptruck ARE YOU SERIOUS. Poor people have a way better work ethic than the rich. These people work two- jobs, overtime hours at the jobs the average person points their nose up at. while you wash the car and mowed the lawn and thought that was hard work. I was learning how to fix a car and a washing machine and I'm a girl. The problem is poor area = poor education system and less opportunities.

It's a shame that his comments are mocked by either stupid Paul-Bots, or Leftists. Smartest man running for President, but people only get a caricature of Newt, and do NOT listen to solutions, because they are pre-programmed to take what Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer say. Folks, Obama has NO solutions, and Newt gives solutions, and is mocked. We have too many people not willing to listen, who SUPPOSEDLY are liberal (open-minded), but instead do character assassination. Sad you don't listen.
