OVERTIME OVERHAUL Obama reportedly to issue order expanding eligibility

Please, go on.

It's false because who decided that 8 hours in a day was all that could be worked for the wage agreed to between parties? My father who owned and ran his own pharmacy my entire life worked 70 to 90 hours a week, I don't work an 8 hour day, and don't get paid by the hour, so I have never worked for "overtime"... It's bull ****, overtime was created by unions who want their pay tied to such fake constructs to extract the maximum out of an employer.

Are you capable of intelligent and independent thought of your own? If so why the caned partisan drivel?

What is drivel about it? You lash out because I don't agree with your particular outlook of a nanny government, stealing from those whom have earned to give to you who don't. Here's a bit of advice for you, get up, take a shower, go out and get a haircut, and a paper, and get a job.

Yep, true. FDR created many things that were destructive to future generations.

The drivel is everything you post, devoid of any rational reasoning and intelligent arguments. It is all out of a ignorant partisan hack's text book and has nothing to do with disagreements. Nobody gives a **** how long you or your father works by choice. It is all about people worked to do more work so somebody can make more profits, but not be compensated more. Last I looked slavery was ended.

Hey, you want to be rich? Find something that you can do/provide that makes you the profit to get there....Others owe you nothing....But you won't because you're too damned lazy to put in what it takes....You just want to bitch about what others have, and how unfair that is....Like a spoiled child.
 
Hey, you want to be rich?
I am rich, very rich in fact, so this is more ignorant misdirection from you.

Others owe you nothing
I never said anyone owed me anything, so there in no need to post lies and more ignorant misrepresentations.

But you won't because you're too damned lazy to put in what it takes
You don't know the first think about me, yet you find the need to make up stupid accusations.

You just want to bitch about what others have
I did not bitch, but you are still posting drivel.
 
If you take a salaried position, you take the flexibility it brings: work any amount of time during the week, get paid the same. "Executive" positions are almost exclusively salaried.

The OT rules don't apply to salaried positions.

I am not sure exactly what you want? A species of worker ants? Society has deemed that 40 hours per week is a normal work week. In fact, many studies have shown that quality of work, employee happiness, and overall productivity drop with overworked employees. Turnover rises. Families suffer.

I'm sorry your dad had to work so much, actually. You should consider breaking that cycle and spending more time with your family.
