A Lesson For The Busybodies

At the heart of the Left’s vision of the world is the implicit assumption that high-minded third parties like themselves can make better decisions for other people than those people can make for themselves.

That arbitrary and unsubstantiated assumption underlies a wide spectrum of laws and policies over the years, ranging from urban renewal to Obamacare.

One of the many international crusades by busybodies on the left is the drive to limit the work hours of people in other countries — especially poorer countries — in businesses operated by multinational corporations. One international monitoring group has taken on the task of making sure that people in China do not work more than the legally prescribed 49 hours per week.

It's modern day slavery. It's so laughable when you hear blacks speak about slavery and like it's something from the past. No it's not. A great number of blacks are still nothing but slaves but now to the government and big business. The corporate executives are the plantation owners. obama, sharpton, jackson and most of the other so called black leaders are the house slaves and the ones getting the handouts-the welfare kings and queens are the cotton pickers.
What's even more funny are the whites who now seem to want to emulate being a slave. We are seeing more and more of this with each passing decade.
