It is truly unbelievable that the President of Our United American States of America (SFX: "eagle" -- actually red-tailed hawk) has absolutely no idea how the free market works. And how the free market works is that if you work hard leveraging the buyout of a business, you should be free to pay the peons who provide the actual labor as little as the market will bear so that you can maximize profits for your shareholders, and if you are a worker, you should shut the hell up, work harder, and be glad that you still have a job. And yet, in utter defiance of this basic law of economics, the Socialist Marxist wants to give all of the hardworking business owners' money to the indigent and lazy welfare bums who work 50-60 hours a week for them, just because he thinks they deserve
The sad thing is that people are seriously arguing this as a flaw in the plan. That or the worker won't see any appreciable benefit as their taxes will go up as their pay goes up.
Fucking idiots can't wait to hand their boss the knife he will cut their throats with. Anyone who isn't willing to likewise bare their neck is a dirty commie.
That's because they are what we like to call "stupid." Oh wait - that's rude. I meant, "Republicans."

Behold! The stupidest wingnut crap ever written at least until the next bit of stupidest wingnut crap ever written is written which will be at most a couple of days if history is any judge.
So closing a loophole that allowed workplaces to designate people &quot;management&quot; without actually giving them any management authority solely to block them from overtime is &quot;redistribution&quot; and &quot;socialism&quot;? Apparently to them just having an executive title is reward enough. So they can kindly pound sand.
&quot;Labour is prior to, and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labour, and could never have existed if labour had not first existed. Labour is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.&quot; -Abraham Lincoln

Brian must&#039;ve learned sentence structure from Caribou Barbie.
I thought my masters at BofA thought of this all by themselves.
Hey, gimme keys to the stock room and let the managers turn a blind eye for a few days, and I won&#039;t NEED overtime.
That&#039;s because they are what we like to call &quot;stupid.&quot; Oh wait - that&#039;s rude. I meant, &quot;Republicans.&quot;
