Child labor is immoral - period!

Strike one - nobody was badmouthed.

Gee, because you wanted to! If you feel that's child labor in its
classic sense, do some homework. Paper routes in the USA and sweat
shops in Bangladesh do not equate.

Got a problem with comprehension? Nothing can be inherently moral if
it's not moral in its totality. That's a given and absolute. Where did
I say there's a better system? Where did I advocate socialism? Where
did I advocate anything else? Try reading something prior to jumping
in with ignorant accusations. I said there are much better arguments
than morality for capitalism.
