7. Wage Theft Epidemic

This latest legislation is just one part of the massive wage theft in the US. One report supposedly stated that corporations profit from over $20 billion a year in wage theft. That is misclassification of worker, working off the clock, unpaid lunch hours, wage differential abuse, two tiered wage scales, UNPAID internships, unpaid overtime, etc. On top of there is a huge amount of money made on workers NOT using their vacation time.

Employers cry that they cannot pay legal wages to US workers because they want too much. It will only end when American workers get mad and start grabbing their employers by their you know whats. With " Mint Rawmoney" and the GOP it will get a lot worse. Even for GOP voters who don't have brain cell in their entire brain.
