Liberals are happy? Liberals are never happy. They are always menacing. Too much on their minds all the time. Where one issue is solved there are at least a dozen more they are unhappy about.

Senator Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin. What a great idea. They need him. They really need his point of view to validate their roots. That's nice.

Senator Sanders is not real key about the press. He isn't interested in headlines of even a small paragraph above the fold. He is a door to door legislator when he runs for office. I am happy for him. He deserves to have the folks in Wisconsin fill up a stadium. 

American Labor deserves to have good pay. They deserve to have increased rates of pay when they accommodate their employer for additional time at work. People aren't suppose to want to be at work more than necessary to maintain their good standing with an employer. American people that work for a living want to be at home as well. Their time at home can't be understated as important. Besides being down time to refresh to dive back into work the next day, there are relationships and perhaps children, the pets and hobbies and enjoyment. When Americans enjoy life the economy does better. When parents are home and attending the Spring Recital at the local public primary school they are taking pictures and sharing moments with Grandparents. That is called quality of life. Quality of life is what drives the Middle Class. So, when an American Laborer consents to work longer hours or is required to work extra hours that impacts their quality of life. It is a sacrifice. They should be given a higher pay rate to balance the loss of quality of life. 

When I was a union representative for some professionals overtime was viewed as a kindness to the employer. These folks were paid well and they were excellent at their jobs. They worked hard every minute of every hour. Sometimes they would pass on lunch because of their dedication. They rather pass on lunch then work longer hours. That lunch time was gone, there was no reimbursement for that time. There might be a longer break time in the afternoon if things slowed down. But, they were valuable people for the work they did and when their employer asked them to work longer hours than their contract it was viewed as something the employer should appreciate. They received additional pay according to the contract, but, they were also thanked for their willingness and dedication. It is the way it should be.
