Missouri is considering lowering the Child Labor law to 14. They aren't talking about traditional jobs, like baby-sitting and paper routes, they mean salaried positions. The proposed law would also allow work to be done during school hours. I suppose we'll see middle-aged family providers duking it out with teens for jobs at Mickey D's.
...................and he certainly didn't put us here to work 60 hours a day either.................hahahahahahahahah
It's only in recent times that people have the choice to work long hours or short hours. All through history, people worked sun up to sun down, just to survive. Back breaking, hard work. With little, if any, time for what they wanted to do. But they did it, because it's called "life".

We really are becoming a nation of veal calves.
And I am sure those people wanted it that way right?
Damn washing machines, damn chain saws.....give them a bucket of soap and a axe and make them man up and woman up....
If we were animals, born on the desert floor, mom would attempt to get us up and running or we would be eaten. The losers get eaten. Here, we have luxury; well we are living off of the capital of those who worked before us, we are robbing their labor and squandering it, we are good for nothing theives, that all the Marxists were at one time worried about. Luxury breeds indolence, laziness, trouble, etc. We are also robbing the labor of those who work now to let people set on their asses, if you are one of these ass setters, you are a thief; look in the mirror you will see a thief who takes the labor from someone else, who takes money from others who could spend it on themselves deservedly from their own labor-you should be eaten.
There was a racist song a few years back, but a few verses do apply, something like this, "3000 years ago a man came and said, pick up your shovels, load your asses, mount your camels, and I will lead you to the promise land, 3000 years after that man, another said, throw down your shovels, sit on your asses, light up a camel, this is the promise land"-that is what we are becoming, and nature will send predators to eat us. That super dud LBJ, I think was that second man and the rest of the country followed.
Me personally, i think that "hard work" is overrated. You do what you have to do...obviously. I work to live, not live to work. I've done well enough by living with that philosophy. Have i left a lot of money on the table? Yep! And i couldn't care less.
You have only this one life. If some of you want to put "he worked hard" on your tombstone, then be my guest. Won't be on mine, that's for sure. I'll see to that.

This is called 'progress' and it is a good trend. We still work too much of our lives away as it is.
Why do people whose parents benefited so much from union sacrifice and hard work hate unions so much?
Some Americans aren't happy unless they feel superior to others in some way, whether it is over the "minorities", "the gays" or "the unionists". they conveniently how they got to the 40 hour work week and all of the other benefits in the first place.
I really don't know why people look at me with 2 heads when I say I work 70 hrs a week.
The problem I see working so many hrs....I get a bigger tax bill because it pushes me into a different tax bracket.
The goverment doesn't distinguish between someone making a certain amt with 2 jobs vs 1.
They should at least reduce taxes for people working 2 jobs.
Can someone answer this for me....
I'm an hourly employee. Why can't I sign a waiver stating I will work 70 hrs for one job,and exempt myself from overtime pay?
Meaning,why can't I work 70 hours for straight pay? Why are there laws that require overtime pay for any hours over 40?

Because Limbaugh and Fox News tell them to.
