Surely the logic works the same as the argument that cutting funding to NASA will result in a moon base. Clearly.

One might argue that eating a wife is better than abandoning her during an illness.

Of course, it was a satirical effort to shock the upper class about their heartless attitudes towards the poor.

Newt Gingrich’s modest proposal is for poor kids to work as junior janitors. He wasn’t kidding.

Hint: You're doing it wrong, Newt. :P

Space is overrated, far too long travel times, it's cold and it's dark. I'd rather visit Finland for that.

What's wrong with kids sweeping floors in their schools?

That's straight up 'civic virtue' as liberals are supposed to love that sort of thing. Is it because a fat ugly Republican guy brought it up?

No. Because it is forced child labor. Full stop.

It is also intended to put adult janitors out of a job.

It also places a labor requirement on schooling that is supposed to be free.

What if the kids volunteer for such work?

Belive it or not, janitors can find work in other feilds, besides taxpayer funded facilities. There is endless demand for janitors in the private sector, just look in the local Craigslist or whatever. They are not bottom-rung, needy welfare cases that need government assistance in finding employment.

Also, nothing in this world is 'free'. Free schooling is bought and paid for by somebody else. Having students pitch in for enabling free schooling is not depriving them of their schooling. It is helping maintain that institution, purchasing it through work on their own behalf. I don't see how that is a bad thing.
