Default Re: 8+Tabling Americans And 4 Tabling Europeans

[ QUOTE ]

I may choose to work less because I value incremental free time over incremental earnings, but I'd rather be able to make that choice rather than have it imposed on me by my government. By the large numbers of European entrepreneurs who move to the U.S. to start businesses, I'd guess the brighter and more motivated Europeans agree with me.

I hate to break this to you, DesertCat, but the issue here is *paid* vacation time. There's nothing stopping you from working your vacations -- that way you get paid twice over for the same period and earn >>>> than Americans.

Secondly, it's mostly only donkeys are paid hourly/daily anyway. Anyone who is on decent money gets a salary, and therefore it doesn't matter how many hours a week or month you work, your pay will be the same.

No overtime for management/professional classes, sadly.
