I don't know anything "sinful" about child labour. Even if child labour were sinful, you are trying to make a logical leap that all labour must be sinful, which, if I'm correct (I am) we know isn't true since performing labour is the opposite of being slothful, and since being a sloth is sinful, then labouring must not be, logically speaking, sinful. LABOUR on the other hand, well, that may be sinful.

Who ever said that child labor is a sin ? It's against the law in the US, but that's all. And to counter your reasoning, if it's illegal for a child under 16 to get a driver's license, is it illegal for an adult to get one?
