It is every Americans right to have a job and support their family but those rights have slowly been changing.

I was asked by the local high school decades ago to hire at least one of their gifted students every year which I would work in the afternoons. These young adults were exposed to men who were highly skilled working with their hands and dozens of these young students benefited greatly their entire lives from the experience. So much in fact several of their own children have worked here.

Then in 93’ the principle of the school showed up wanting to inspect our shop to make sure everything was safe for them to work here. They were afraid of the legal liability if one of the kids were to get hurt. Then a representative of the school district showed up with a three page list of requirements. Shortly after a state official showed up requesting even more changes and demanded I take the necessary action.

So I did by escorting him out the front door and I told all of them to never step foot in my shop again and they were responsible for destroying a great opportunity for young adults to learn a skilled trade.

That was seventeen years ago when we stopped taking in these young adults to serve apprenticeship and learn to create wealth with their own hands. Today I see the large majority of the youth are ill equipped to tackle what is ahead for them and those who are responsible for this are all tied, in one way or another, to the government.
