Start stocking up on toilet paper
Obama seeing if he can screw something else up
$23,600 is peanuts. The exemption limit needs to be raised.
He can’t do a dam* thing about it. This is more blather and obfuscation to blanket the internet and keep the real issues from people’s attention.
What? Alaska labor law and federal labor laws don’t say that hourly employees who work more that 8 hours a day, and more than 40 a week don’t get OT?
I must have my wires crossed because I sure thought I knew that!
We need a national wage floor that that rises each year, so that its purchasing power doesn’t erode with time,” Labor Secretary Tom Perez wrote in a blog post.
we need the govt to stop spending and printing money
He has no idea how a business works. Like all marxists, he thinks that businesses are run by the rich and employ the poor, which they exploit.
Reality: A business can’t afford to pay an employee more than he/she earns for the company.
< 23,000/year??? that don’t make sense!!
The Federal government has no business regulating overtime pay, or any pay whatsoever. There is NOTHING in the Constitution about it. Wickard v. Filburn started all this crap, using the Interstate Commerce clause as a bludgeon to destroy businesses.
I managed food in California and as a manager I was salaried, so exempt provided rules were followed. I don't know what states they are talking about because back in 76' and all the way up to 98' I was paying overtime to any hourly employee that worked over 8 a day or 40 a week, and I never heard of a threshold rule. I was offered a job at Olive Garden when the first started to expand in California, for about half my McD salary but with the potential for a bonus, I declined.
Business is none of government business. The U.S. Gov. has already been through the nose under the edge, and is now fully involved inside the tent spewing their stink in everything. Break out the room deodorizer, and spray until the can is empty, and open another.
More anti-business horse sh*t from the Marxist-in-Chief.
He’ll drive the United States to its knees before he’s done.
This is another 17th Amendment (17A)-related issue. More on 17A shortly.
"Obama eyes big change to rules on overtime pay"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Simply put, and as mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate overtime pay. In fact, note that regardless what FDR’s activist justices wanted everybody to think about Congress’s Commerce Clause powers when they wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress’s favor in 1942, FDR’s thug justices ignored that the Supreme Court had previously clarified that the states have never constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And the reason that the corrupt feds are now wrongly regulating overtime pay is the following imo.
The Founding States had not only established the federal Senate, but had given the power to vote for federal senators uniquely to state lawmakers. The idea was that senators would protect their states in Congress by killing bills that steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers, such as the power to regulate intrastate overtime pay.
But as a consequence of 17A, low-information citizens go home after voting for their favorite federal senators and watch football, clueless that their corrupt senators are working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass vote-winning bills, such as bills to regulate intrastate overtime pay, such bills based on powers which the states have never delegated to the feds as previously mentioned.
And what’s worse than the Senate hurting their states by passing unconstitutional bills which steal state sovereignty is this. The Senate then confirms activist justices who declare the unconstitutional laws that the Senate has passed as constitutional.
What a racket!
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators along with it.
I have a bucket full of BS here I will give to anybody who can honestly claim they are shocked by this.
