6 million may still lose OT pay: study
Labor-backed group says new revisions to work rules will still mean
lost overtime for millions.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
Revised changes to overtime rules proposed by the Bush administration
will still fail to protect overtime pay for 6 million workers,
according to a new study.
The Bush Administration issued proposed changes to overtime rules last
year, but then revised them in March after criticism from some labor
groups.
The original proposal would have stripped overtime protection for 8
million workers, according to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI),
which studies issues affecting middle- and lower-income workers and
receives funding from some labor groups.
But the revisions would still strip OT pay for about 6 million
workers, EPI said in a study released Tuesday.

Democrats & Social Security
Really Something!! George H.
SOCIAL SECURITY:
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA)
Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into
the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to
put into the Program would be deductible from their
income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the
General operating fund, and therefore, would only be
used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program,
and no other Government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees
would never be taxed as income.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and
are now receiving a Social Security check every
month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed
on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal
government to "put away," you may be interested in
the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from
the independent "Trust" fund and put it into the
General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the
Democratically-controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
"tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving
annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic
Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at
age 65, began to receive SSI Social Security
payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments
to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and
violation of the original contract (FICA), the
Democrats turn around and tell you that the
Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is, uninformed citizens
believe it!
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during
this 2004 election year!

Democrats & Social Security
Republicans and Tax Increases.
Largest Tax Increase in History
Wall Street Journal, October 26, 1994
The Reagan-Dole Tax bill in 1982 was actually the largest ever "both in 1993
adjusted dollars and as a percentage of the overall economy."
So much for the Repugnican charges against Clinton and the dems.

This was the big national news item on local tv tonight. Seems a lot of
people here in South Carolina are going to be affected. They had interviews
with some people who were going to lose 15% of their pay. They were not
happy with Bush.
Kerry may win South Carolina after all.
