Why does the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT they have the right to tell the several states how to legislate employment law?

[Country Boy Liberal]

Back in the 1880s the New England states started getting concerned about the number of children in textile factories. They passed laws prohibiting child labor.

The textiles packed up and headed down to North Carolina where the GOVERNMENT knew to let businesses run themselves. Thankfully, the Federal Government knew to let the free market decide on this issue also.

It wasn't until much later until SOCIALIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATS stepped in and passed laws preventing companies from any state from hiring children.

I hate socialists.

I know right, those DAMN SOCIALIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, are always ruining everything for the rich, yet I stay in my trailer park and hope to win the lottery.

Socialism is bad, because Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh did so. Social democracy is also the equivalence to Marxism-Leninism

[Mr. Personality]

So you're advocating for children to work? .,.

[WOTWU]

You hate socialists, but child labour is just okey dokey with you?

Happy trolling.

[Huh?]

Even more amazing to me is how some people can't seem to see the sarcasm in your question...

Interesting, since I assume that the children delivering newspapers are being compensated.

Also, what about those child actors in movies?
