    Family values means forcing children in already marginalized and impoverished families to go hungry.

      There family values mean “I value my family, not anyone else’s”, they’re a weird mob.

        Do they really even care about their own family?

        More like “I value myself and the outward appearance that I care about my own”

      Makes it way easier to gain support for “letting the kids work.” Since they’re just kids, we can probably let employers pay them less than minimum wage…paying all those kids a full minimum wage would cost too many jobs…besides, its not like they need to “live” off that money…its just supplemental income for the family. Everyone wins! Employers get cheap labor, and the poor are less educated and more desperate and thus easier to exploit.
