And some people say they have no way to make money...

Maybe he can be an example for all the people sitting on their butts whining they need a government check because they cannot find any work.

Ryan Hickman's recycling business has recycled over 200,000 cans and bottles and banked him approximately $10,000. And did we mention Hickman is just 7 years old?

That kid is going to go far.

Good for him. I am sure the Gov't may need to throw some kind of regulation in his path.......you know, we can't have him inspiring others to step away from their play stations and attempt to weaken Gov't grip on their power base.

Don't worry. It's California so someone from some agency or another will be along shortly to shut him down for not having a business license, lack of employer-sponsored healthcare, OSHA violations, or operating an industrial business in a residential zone. If not, maybe a busy body from the Home Owners Association will do it for them.

Not to mention the fines for all that. I bet he will end up in the red after the government gets done with him. And when they get done with him they will convince him he is a victim and give him a government check. I imagine the parents will be questions for allowing their child to work at such a early age. The government will step in and make him work less in accordance with child labor laws.

All you have to do is look at what the government consistently does to children's lemonade stands to see what is probably about to happen.

Are you kidding? Parents only questioned?!?!?! Nope! That's child abuse, making him work in an industrial plastics mining operation! Take that kid away from those monsters!
