"Leftists desperately wish that reality didn’t exist. Nowhere is that truer than in the field of economics, where the geniuses of the left think that their arbitrary definitions of “fairness” should steamroll the actual realities of the marketplace. Their latest sally into the marketplace comes via a Labor Department ruling that Americans must receive time-and-a-half if they make under $47,476 per year and work more than 40 hours per week.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan stated, “This regulation hurts the very people it alleges to help. Who is hurt most? Students, non-profit employees, and people starting a new career…For the sake of his own political legacy, President Obama is rushing through regulations – like the overtime rule – that will cause people to lose their livelihoods.”

This, of course, was not the headline for Yahoo. The headline was, “House Speaker Paul Ryan ‘Committed to Fighting’ New Overtime Rule.”

He’s not fighting unemployment. He’s not fighting bad economics. He’s not even saying that the regulation “hurts” people. No, he’s standing against American workers.

This is how the left wins. They declare something unfair, pretend that government can fix it, and then use the power of government to ram through some regulation that exacerbates the problem itself. Then they declare the problem unfair and begin the cycle all over again.

The only way to fight this strategy is to call such rules what they are: deliberate attempts to interfere with liberty of contract. It’s a quaint notion these days of Hillary “fairness” and Trumpian insta-solutions, but liberty of contract prizes freedom over any third party arbiter’s interference in a business relationship. Until conservatives re-educate Americans about such basic concepts, we may be doomed to decades more bad regulations driving up the cost of doing business and putting laborers out of work."


When the reality is, this will help more than 4.5 million people;


"4.5 million millennials will directly benefit from the Obama Administration's new overtime rule, which lifts the wage threshold for who qualifies to receive overtime pay (see below, from new study by Economic Policy Institute). Republicans in Congress want to repeal it. Don't let them."




Why would anyone support working more than 40 hours a week but not receiving fair compensation for it? Why does Ryan think people outside the republican party are stupid enough to fall for his bullshit? What's your opinion on Obama passing this executive order to ensure fair compensation for workers who work more than full time and make less than $47K?

with the wealth disparity where it is, it's a wonder anyone can even say shit like this without immediately being shunned for being a cunt
I felt the exact same way when Trump said wages were "too high"!

Wtf?!

Yet you still have retards in the republican party who make minimum wage cheering for the guy.. Raising taxes is straight up communism, but lowering wages is totally American! Exact same effect, simply a different method of execution.. it's almost unbelievable..

Since you have such a solid lock on business it should be no problem to start one and make a billion dollars while paying your employees a fair salary according to you.

Oh wait, you find it much easier to whine on a pot website....

This is part of the fight against MOP trying to convince workers that an 80 hour work week is normal..it's not.

It started about 40 years ago.

I could try to explain to you again how the interest rates are much lower on secured credit rather than unsecured credit but you dont have anything to secure and I dont think you would get it anyway.

We have folks beating down our door to get our biz thanks to a credit score of 798 and lots of money in the bank. ;)

If I had to guess 90% of the members posting to this forum couldn't qualify for a mortgage. Forget the car load term if they could qualify, would probably have to be 6 years for a cheap used Ford Focus. :mrgreen:

2 houses paid off since the 90's, an F150, a car with 20k miles, and 2016 Jeep. Your stereotypical bullshit loses again. Looking for a winter place in Cali. ever since a couple I know bought a doublewide there for 80K. They're Democrats too.

Such idiots on the left. There are reasons that demand needs to determine wages and not failed Presidents with 1.9 grade point averages in college who failed Econ 101. Go read "The Road To Serfdom" and learn where your inane thought process brings you.
