Econ Obama just doubled the minimum salary requirements for employee overtime.
- Thread starter Willy Leadwell
- Start date
Statistically speaking, it was time for the bump up.
I'm no economics wiz, so I won't debate if it nets a positive or negative loss for the economy.

It's not gonna change the economy because employers will just work around it. Employers aren't going to just double people's salaries because Obama says so. We're about to see massive numbers of low level managers punching time clocks for an hourly wage. Then Obama is going to be on tv with his butthurt because the evil rich businessmen are trying to not pay people a liveable wage. Putting the fucking screws to small business is not the way to solve economic problems. This doesn't cripple the big, evil, greedy corporations liberals loathe so much, it cripples people like me who are running small mom & pop operations.Statistically speaking, it was time for the bump up.

- Yes, they know that this requirement will not help the economy.
- Yes, they know that employers will simply change policy to work around it.
The change is not meant to be helpful in any traditional sense. It is meant to cause trouble. By forcing employers to change policy it creates friction between employees and companies and forces employers into the role of enemy.
You are exactly the type of business owner that this type of mandate is designed for. Government loves a driven individual who will work around the system and overcome at all costs. They can hobble you, hang more weight on you, harness you to the the treadmill, and hang a noose around your neck and you will keep moving forward - providing the economic engine they need to power their own agenda. All the the while you scoff at those who see the shackles.
It seems you're portraying your personal struggles or those of some others on me.
I am not affected, it's laughable actually because the hurdles you mention do not apply to me.
I provide the economic engine for myself, my wife, and my employees. Whatever taxes and expenses eat up some of the profit is not a concern, I calculate and consider accordingly and I am not greedy. I don't expect to "keep it all", because there's always more to be made. So, fucks are not given.
You're right about not seeing shackles...why would I? They are not there. Not for me. Not for you either unless you're an employee or if you're looking to place blame.
I already acknowledged that I'm aware of taxation among other requirements.
Yeah, it costs me some money. So what. I'm not complaining, there are lots of ways to legally make money.
If you're comparing that to the effect gravity has, well that's pretty pathetic on your part although it must weigh on you heavily (lol)
How am I "just wrong" or "blind"?
I mean, your convictions seem so deep on this.
Have you ever considered that not everyone shares the concerns you do, and not everyone is affected the way you are?
That whole "pass all the gun control, taxes and other dumb laws you want as long as they don't affect me directly" attitude is more destructive than the politicians who pen them.

So you're a socialist?
Double post merged, well...
1. No, I'm not for stricter gun laws, or more taxes (no I "must NOT" be, don't try to pull that fallacy bullshit)
2. No, I'm not a socialist (again, "don't worship gawd, you must worship the debil"...yeah, that twisted logic has seeped out of religion and into commonplace reasoning for some)
This is getting stupid.
For fucks sake, understand that not everyone shares the same concern as everyone else. For many reasons. You can choose which one suits your argument, (in this case proposed political affiliation) as a pathetic retort, but that's all it is: a pathetic retort.

Oh? My bad (dawg)
I didn't realize I had to satisfy your expectations.
Are you a consultant that I did not hire and you're attempting to middle man your way in? LOL
I never said you're "for" those things. You just have "no fucks to give" unless they affect you directly. That's a selfish attitude to have and is extremely destructive. Stupid laws don't get passed just because someone wrote them down on a piece of paper. Stupid laws get passed because of people just like you who don't care about how it affects anyone other than themselves.
Do you have any idea what percentage of the American population has an IQ below 85? 90?
These people are completely capable of working for a living, but it's insane to expect them to be entrepreneurs or quickly go from one field of work to another. You seem to have fell into the trap of thinking everyone is like the people you know. When a govt regulation or mandate affects folks like leadwell, or other small businesses, these people lose der jerbs. They won't get retrained to make or maintain the machines that are doing those jobs because the minimum wage doubled. They become part of the government supported underclass, forever.
