I don't think anyone has a complaint about a single mom with three
dependent kids collecting assistance. However, there should be (if
there isn't already) a limit to how much assistance she receives based
on the number of kids she has. Hold the fathers responsible and
accountable.

As far as vacations ... the government has no place mandating vacations
in the private work sector. The USA is *not* Europe and to compare our
work culture to European countries isn't meaningful. Every company I
knew of during my working career included paid vacations for full time
employees, BTW.

There are many, many Europeans who have immigrated permanently to the
USA or are here on long term green cards pursuing a career in the
States. I know several and there's a reason they come here.







As I stated, American corporations rule and they are intent on pushing
workers back towards serfdom.

Yawn.



Well, sure, you're one of the 1% and a retiree.

My status, your status and/or anyone elses status is not the point or
the issue. I object to your continuous and broad brush portrait of
"Corporate America" as being the enemy of their employees in terms of
pay, benefits and well-being. There are plenty of examples of companies
who value their employees ... (after all, the company *is* the
employees), who encourage and make available opportunities for growth
and earning power for those inclined and modivated to succeed.

I've always noticed that those who complain the most about employers are
are usually those who perform their tasks to the basic minimum
requirements, simply putting in the hours and then bitching that they
aren't paid what they think they deserve. "I exist, therefore I am owed."

Sort of a union mentality.

Luddite supported O'Bama in two elections. How can you call him Mitt,
unless you are acknowledging that Luddite finally saw the light and
realized that he got snookered by O'Bama.
