GOP Presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, recently defended his stance on child labor laws.  He previously said that children as young as nine in poverty stricken areas should be given janitorial jobs, mopping floors and bathrooms and be paid at much lower rates than adults.

Gingrich claimed that changing child labor laws would benefit poor children because they have no work ethic unless it involves crime in a campaign stop in Iowa.

Really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday

They have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless it is illegal
