Congress on Mnimum wage -- Overtime pay -- Opinions?

[Wyatt earp]

Ignoring the relative bargaining power of the parties creates absurdity. If I hold a gun to your wife's head and say I'll shoot unless you give me $100,000, would it be a "mutual agreement" if you paid that sum?

Of course not, that's coercion. There's a fundamental difference between that and legitimate economic power.

There is a point where the gap in bargaining power is so wide that the only different is semantic.

No its not lower the UE to 2% watch the bargaining power rise for the middle class, But thats not what Republicans or Democrats want. they both love it at 7.5%

Yes.

Obama - Solyndra

Clinton - Tyson Foods

Solyndra was product dumping by China which has been stopped.

Tyson Foods is unproven allegations.

China product dumping or not, Solyndra got a loophole.

So did Tyson. Here's just one instance, while he was President.

Solyndra received what loop hole? Solyndra, along with every solar panel manufacturer in the world is bankrupt or in severe financial trouble because the Chinese Government was subsidizing their companies.

What bill did Clinton author?

The American government was subsidising their own companies. What exactly do you think it's called when a private company receives federal tax dollars by meeting a certain business requirement?

EVERY American company receives subsidies. Some direct, some in-direct. Taxpayers subsidies Walmarts employees healthcare to the tune of $1 billion/yr.
