Will congress stop before or after they have complete destroyed the business sector in the US?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22794.ht...

The Democratic Rep. from Florida now seems to think the this country needs a mandatory 1 week paid vacation imposed on almost all employers. His reason are:

1) The French do it - When was the last time you were using something from France and thought "what great craftsmanship", Probably never, because they have imposed crap like this and killed there manufacturing sector.

2) It will reduce sick days - Sorry, but sick days are not taken because people are short on vacation, but because people don't want to work.

3) Increase business to the travel industry - Wrong, Since employers will need to shell out extra cash for work not being done, they will employ less or cut wages causing those employed to spend less, driving down the vacation market.

If an employer has 100 employee. Each being required to get 1 week paid vacation. Lets assume all 100 employees make $40,000 per year, that means this employer will need to pay out an additional $4million for work NOT being done. Will that employer not make up this difference by cutting jobs or lowering wages?

    You point on vacations is not a point at all. Most companies have and do give a weeks vacation after a certain amount of service time. It's called a 'perk'. So it's been happening for years. This is addition to sick time. While some people do take sick time because they do not want to work. I think the majority of people take it because .....does happen. Maybe that's why you use sick time.but it's not that way for the majority.

    figures grayson would come out with something like that...well my friend, look at it this way, this is another way of getting around the union thing going on right now which gets them in the back door. we have too many politicians trying and thinking about the european model which doesn't seem to be working all that well since right here in central fla. we have a huge influx of them due to their governments intrusion in their lives over there. believe me, i know, i've talked to a lot of them via my work and job and the above is just one of the reasons they come over here. the left has been trying for over 60 years to get to this stage and it appears they will stop at nothing now until they accomplish their version of the european model of utopia !!!

    The business sector has managed to survive gobs and gobs of other regulations. I am sure that, no matter how UNWISE the law may be, the business sector can survive this regulation too.

    Please, just say that the law you are talking about is an unwise law, but do not exaggerate and say that it will destroy business. Where did you go to school; Chicken Little University?

    some human beings mistakenly think of that devil is the anti-God. they think of he's all-efficient (all-powerful), is everywhere (omnipresent) and is familiar with each and everything (omniscience). that may no longer real. devil is extra efficient than human beings yet he does not even evaluate to God's means. devil is a creature (as is guy). he's the chief of the fallen angels. CS Lewis states that devil is extra like the anti-Michael than an anti-God. he's able to do the wear that he does in common terms because of the fact God helps him to do it. sooner or later (the 2d Coming of Christ) God the daddy will placed his foot down and could completely placed an end to devil's reign over the earth. till then we are able to assume many evil issues to take place. there are various motives that God helps them. now and returned he turns us over to our sins to objective to force us to "the backside" so we are able to be forced to tutor to Christ for alleviation. Evil interior the worldwide contrasts the solid in God, which could top force us to Christ. Evil is a consequence of our own evil (cyclical destructive cycle). there are various motives however the factor is often to force us to Christ.

    I like being able to work for my money and I like the idea of opening a business of my own one day. Won't happen if these dems get their way.

    Politicians and money are just like junkies and heroin. The only problem is "rock bottom" for politicians will only occur when they have finished destroying the country.

    No they do not understand private business fundamentals as they work for the government and more than likely always have.
