The government has no right to say how many hours a person should or should not work.

There shouldn’t be a standard or overtime or minimum wage. Let me and an employee or employer talk and agree on terms then go from there. It’s not rocket science.

No, give minimum wage laws to states, but enact a federal minimum floor for minimum wages. Allow workers to negotiate with companies on things past that point, and scale the minimum wage per state to inflation, so that the minimum will actually remain stable.

The God-given right to property includes paying your workers, who voluntarily agreed to work for you, what you want, and operating your business as you want. Government's job is to protect that right, not destroy it.

Minimum wage reduces the amount of workers who could be paid unfairly, establishing a floor minimum to survive, and letting workers and employers negotiate additional wages if necessary. That’s far fairer overall

But instead, they made the smart decision by choosing to work for someone else – and they would dese… Read more

You're the reason labor laws, minimum wages, and OT regulations exist. Because employers want to pay less while working you more hours.
