  1. It's the law. You work you get paid, no ifs and or buts. Not only state but federal law.

  2. This ad is B.S.. Why did democrats in 2021 try to give themselves a 60+ thousand dollar tax exemption while trying to tax dirt? Yes dirt. A partisan bill, written by democrats in secret. After another bill Pelosi herself said , you'll have to approve it to see it. Facts show. If everyone paid just 10% straight across the board. U.S. government would be filthy rich. State income taxes would be gone sales taxes almost eliminated. This administration fails to disclose that the wealthiest 10% and corporations already pay well over 50% of taxes. Don't know about you. When I was self employed back when Clinton was in office. Had IRS do my taxes. Netted 10,000 dollars. They wanted over 3,000 for taxes. Plus state wanted their cut, plus sales tax.. You figure it out. I'm working 60-90 hrs a week trying to build a business on my own. Yet I'm supposed to live on less than 25 dollars a week after rent. Not including food, fuel, utilities. Be glad to give up 10 % of my income if I knew it would stop there. States,counties, cities impose more. For what? My services haven't gotten better. In fact decreased. I didn't need sidewalks on dirt roads back then. And I don't need a government that is the largest employer in the State now. It doesn't pay. Think about it. This is kindergarten thinking. He's basing nothing on facts or figures. We're already suffering, it's going to get worse. It's inevitable. Simple finances We've over extended our credit. Our ability to pay off debt is not so good. Our total debt is once again high. NAFTA sold our base assets. That's what's been going on. They're reverse mortgaging the U.S.. But China and other foreign interests hold the note. All parties guilty, crept the one person we all asked for. No politician, clean the swamp. It didn't even get started. Left all over it, with false information etc. Regardless. Yes scrutiny should be in place for workers safety and employment. Equality, not equity should be the name of the game. Not only in employment, but education which democrats have controlled in a majority for decades. Despite trillions of dollars being pumped into the system they created. Their students seem less qualified and educated. But they have grown almost 10 fold or better in wealth since I was a child. Yet far less capable as teachers and/or administration. They blipped over major points because they have no defense. Welcome reasonable responses. If you start racist garbage and can't back it up. Don't bother. We're talking economics. Again welcome reasonable responses. Different points of view.

  3. Should be dumping your union. You and they negotiated the contract. If no union dept of labor. A lot of this is bull. Overtime in especially in a union shop is considered gold. It's fought over. If you have a labor shortage, especially during pandemic. Blame the democrats. Can't afford to pay workers that sit at home collecting 1000 a week or more to sit and do nothing. If company could hire additional workers they certainly would. Because it's cheaper than paying that much ot. So it's either a contract issue or a democrat caused labor shortage. Other issues regarding pay. Our union went through it as well. Non skilled getting same pay as skilled. Where is there incentive in that? I'm sure there are some despairities. Some may be out of companies control. Ie available labor due to government interference. Union contract. Temporary increase in demand because of government shutdowns. If you were to go back to 40 hrs with limited ot. You'd still be crying. Make hay while the sun shines. I've worked 7 days a week for years on end with no benefits. When offered at union shop, you bet I worked every bit of it I could. It paid for car, got ahead on mortgage saving literally tens of thousands in interest, paid off credit cards, built shop and major improvements on home. 7 days a week months on end. I along with everyone else who worked it missed it. The whole story is not being told here. The other elephant in the room is the dead weight that inevitably comes with a union shop. We all know what I'm talking about.
