My employer just bought his second $ 280 000 Porsche while we work 50h weeks for under $ 26 000 annual salary. Wake Up America! We are the only developed nation where employers don't have to give you a paid vacation. Bullying in the workplace is Legal. Firing employees without reason is legal. Demoting or pay-cuts are legal.American workers are treated like dirt!

switzerland has 4 weeks paid vacation by law. most employers give x-mas bonuses which are usually a months pay but isn't mandatory. i won't be moving back home to the states any time soon, probably never.

I live in NY, supposedly one of the most liberal minded states in the nation, where there is no mandatory work day - there is no limit to the number of hours an employer can force us to work each day. The employer is only required to give the employee 24 hours of rest per week, and legally, they can be awarded all in one day.

This is one of the richest states in the country and we have virtually no labor rights; our rights have steadily diminished over the past 15 years.

Keep electing Obama and the entire congress taking bribes, it will get worse. You people are all in the same trance doing exactly what they tell you to do. They tell you when you vote for the Green party candidate you will be throwing your vote away. You believe that propaganda and vote against yourselves which is voting against all of us.

OWS: Ridiculous nonsense all day in the park II

Nobody owns truth. Saying, "It would be my truth," makes no sense. Most people say that and I take them at their word, they believe it. They believe complete nonsense. (The statement was made on the OWS forum.)

I say there is water in the ocean. That is true. Its not my truth. Its true because God created the ocean by God's decision to put water in what would otherwise be dry holes such as God didn't create any water on other planets. Water is unique to earth as far as we know.

There may or may not be water on other planets, but there is no proof either way.

Making ridiculous comments to me insults my intelligence. Either I choose to ignore buffoons, or I might respond to their insult. Our society can choose to be politically correct or we can ridicule screwballs who are destroying our society.

Sitting in the park expecting utopia is crazy. OWS is a crazy protest because the OWS remedy for the "crime family" American government taking bribes in plan view is a worthless protest by lazy, ignorant people expecting utopia. I learned this first hand by making 7 trips to the park and listening to a large number of protesters.

Your employer just bought a Porsche. So what? If I could afford a $280,000 car, I would buy one too.

You work for $26,000 per year. What do you do? If you are worth more, go work for someone else.

Demoting or pay-cuts are legal... What the fuck do you want? Do you just want to show up, screw off and not expect to get a pay cut or demoted.

Treated like dirt? --- Jesus Christ this forum is so full of idiots!
