The Wisconsin senate recently approved a bill that expands the working day for minors, allowing 14- and 15-year-olds to work until 11 pm on non-school nights.
Over the summer New Jersey passed legislation temporarily increasing the number of hours that kids aged 16-18 are able to work. Meanwhile, fast-food chains across the US have ramped up their efforts to recruit kids. Last month a McDonald’s in Oregon sparked headlines after it put out a banner urging 14- and 15-year-olds to apply.

What's wrong with child labor exactly?
I worked as a child because I like money. As long as they are paid then I see no problem.

As long as they're paid and they have options, it's not a big issue. As along as they're paid and they don't work in place of their education, it's not a big issue.
That's how it was for me working at Dairy Queen when I was 14. I got to know all the cute girls at school on a different level than at school, plus other girls that worked there.

America's children have been under attack lately through teaching them Marxist principals, and turning them against their parents. Now they want to employ and tax your children.
