In celebration of the working person's holiday, Secretary of Labor
Elaine Chao has announced the Bush Administration's plan to end the
60-year-old law which requires employers to pay time-and-a-half for overtime.
>snip<
I'm sure you already knew that -- if you happened to have run across
page 15,576 of the Federal Register.
>snip<
workers will lose their overtime pay -- for a "benefit" of $1.53 billion.
I put "benefit" in quotes because, in the official cost-benefit analysis issued
by Bush's Labor Department, the amount employers will now be able to slice
out of workers' pockets is tallied on the plus side of the rules change.

You've met these 'managers' - they're the ones in the beanies and aprons whose management decisions are, "Hold the lettuce on that."

So what the fu<k is new. Wage cuts for the working class. Tax cuts for their
corporate masters. This is the first generation of working class Americans that
has not improved their lot.

The only reason we are still working for 1970 wages is because of the
cowardice of the WCRs or working class republicans ( AKA-dittoheads AKA-
freepers AKA moron Americans ) . The brainless gutless WCRs are terrified
of being unemployed, and will work under any conditions there masters dictate.

A working class republican has no courage.
A working class republican has no brains.
A working class republican has no pride.
A working class republican has no shame.
A working class republican has no honor.
Unfortunately, since WCMs are able to reproduce, our standard of living will
probably decline:shrug:

HAPPY LABOR DAY :toast:

2. Maybe they are the old GOP people, when the party was sane.

You know, do not spend money you do not have, keep gov out of my bed room and keep the army small.
