In case you missed it, the Obama Administration issued an executive order this week which raises the threshold for salaried workers to be eligible for overtime pay from $23,660 a year to $47,476, which is expected to affect over four million workers. What this means is that millions of working class Americans will no longer be slave labor for Big Business--they're going to have to pay for our time (as well they should).
Naturally, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan announced later this week that he's committed to fighting the new rule.
What the fuck is it with republicans not wanting poor and working class families to make more money? They certainly don't have any problems with CEOs and hedge fund managers making more money.
One can only suppose that the stink from republicans having their noses so far up Corporate America's ass is affecting their ability to think.
Peace,
