The latest reason why Bush is a TRAITOR to the people of the United States

The Labor Department's advice to employers gives them ways to avoid paying the costs of overtime to the new workers, as well as workers currently receiving overtime pay. The advice includes suggestions to:

Cut workers' salaries so that they must work overtime in order to earn their current base salaries. This would require employees to work more hours for less pay. The Bush administration cynically refers to this cut in pay as a "payroll adjustment."
Raise workers' salaries to just over the threshold that makes them ineligible for overtime, which Bush sets at $22,100. This would mean workers who now rely on overtime pay to make ends meet would now work the same long hours for vastly reduced pay.
Enforce a 40-hour work week so that workers cannot earn the overtime pay they need to make end meet.


By, of, and for the corporation folks. This is the America people seem to want.

2. Thanks for the link! ... Are you from Colorado?

I heard that they passed a "taxpayers bill of rights" and ever since everything that's government-based, directly or indirectly, has been suffering. Is that true?

4. I unfortunately do not know that much about it.

I may have to research it on the web.

3. I believe they also suggest hiring more workers so you can cut hours

for each employee, who will also be paid lower wages. I see this all the time in my business

5. We think hard work is for suckers

Our whole damn society has spent the last 25 years or so demeaning people that WORK HARD. I am so sick of the way we treat those of us that actually MAKE things or BUILD things or PROTECT us or TEACH us. Now, with the end of the estate tax and perhaps capital gains, we can finally reward all those deserving LEECHES that haven't had to do a lick of actual work in their damn lives.
