I did hear reports that someone is trying to organize a counter protest. Lets see how many people that draws.
i prefer a calm eye at the center of the storm. ed schulz is too much like the storm.What is so wrong with ed schultz?
IF I did take a sick day to 'play hooky,' I never got PAID for it.i see that halo around your head is shining bright, johnny.
i bet you never took a sick day to play hooky.
tell me i'm right
no thanks, man.A 40 hour work-week is for losers and slackers.
Put in 65....
Put in 70....
You MIGHT get my respect.
Otherwise... not so much.
The affluent work their asses off.
Deal with it...
or stage a 'sick out.'
you never once used your accrued PTO to take a day off?IF I did take a sick day to 'play hooky,' I never got PAID for it.
So....
You are 'conceivably' only half-right.
Then why the class warfare?no thanks, man.
i prefer my leisure time and a bare minimum standard of living because i value my family, friends and loved ones more than any amount of money.
you can't take it with you, ya know. and on your death bed, the only thing that will matter is how you treated those around you.
And I never claimed to get paid for NOT putting in time on the job.you never once used your accrued PTO to take a day off?
you saint
if he didn't fuck him. those are called benefits for a reason. for workers to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. if he hasn't or didn't take a sick day off as vacation after 2 years of perfect attendance it's because he didn't want to. too bad, not my fault.you never once used your accrued PTO to take a day off?
you saint
You're honestly saying that nurses, firemen, policemen, state construction workers don't work as hard as someone in the private sector? Really?Then why the class warfare?
Some people choose to work harder.
Your side wishes to punish them.
My side wishes to allow them to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
It simple, really.
not that simple.Then why the class warfare?
Some people choose to work harder.
Your side wishes to punish them.
My side wishes to allow them to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
It's simple, really.
i'm kinda high. you lost me.And I never claimed to get paid for NOT putting in time on the job.
How does that figure in your calculus?
Those all qualify for overtime, yes?You're honestly saying that nurses, firemen, policemen, state construction workers don't work as hard as someone in the private sector? Really?
I'm simply stating that I never was paid to skip work, regardless of the circumstances. Sick or not.i'm kinda high. you lost me.
are you saying you have used PTO to take a day off when not sick? or no?
Yes, because you certainly weren't intimating they ALL were fat and lazy. Nope. No way.Those all qualify for overtime, yes?
And are you seriously stating that you have never met a fat, lazy...
Nurse;
Firefighter;
Copper;
or (lol!) state construction worker?
Please tell me that with a straight face.
not that simple.
'my side' aka the democrats, passed the biggest tax cut in american history under the american recovery and reinvestment act,
personally, i will be using my proceeds this year to set up a third grow space, hopefully propelling me to have the freedom to drop the whole 40 hour a week routine.
'your side' aka the republicans, wants to punish teachers making personal sacrifices by taking away their bargaining rights.
your 'simple' generalizations are not one size fits all.
and i'm not sure where you get class warfare out of what i said. those are simply my personal values. you may have a different set.
SO BE IT
in that case, i take it you have never worked a job with PTO benefits.I'm simply stating that I never was paid to skip work, regardless of the circumstances. Sick or not.
i wish i was paying income taxes on my side business, hopefully soon to be my only business.Will you be paying income tax on your business venture, or do you just expect your neighbors to pay your share? Why is it that those that want income taxes increased on everyone else, always seem to find a way to avoid paying taxes them selves? See the obama administration for examples of tax cheats, hell look at any democrat in DC.
i wish i was paying income taxes on my side business, hopefully soon to be my only business.
but alas, the voters of oregon decided against it last year on prop 74.
they could have had $1000 of my money so i could get a producer license. they could have had 10% of my income from what i produced. they could have also had the state and federal taxes from the rest of my income.
but they said no. i voted yes, to no avail.
so my income will be untaxed.
but at least i won't need to use any public services or social safety nets. and i will still pay my property taxes, gas taxes, and all the other fees and taxes that come with our confounded modern day life.
