You're still chuckling over that one. (So am I, really. I reacted like a complete asshole.)
Like most of my husband's arguments, this one is both presuasive and brief. "No taxation without representation." It's impossible to argue with a one liner like that. (I tried. I lost. I don't mind losing discussions like that with him, though. After all these years I never get tired of discussing "issues" with him.)
We also have some remarkably entangled laws with regards to how much/when/how a teenager can work. There are required work permits, etc., etc., etc. Those, too, vary from state to state. And if it happens to be a "family business," I believe there are no rules.
"States rights" have caused some very interesting differences between the states.
