Incredibly, your congress wants to eliminate overtime pay! We've done layoff... sending jobs to Burkina Faso... but it isn't enough money for me! It never is! Not to worry... It's payoff time! Your boss can currently fire you for refusing to work late - but that'st not enough for them. But I haven't seen my family in weeks... They'll see you on the cheese line. They've hitched an amendment to a $1-an-hour raise in the minimum wage. My hard-working constituents demand the right to work endless hours for free! Your Cayman account has just been credited. So what are you going to do about it? I don't know... a dollar-an-hour is a lot of money. But you don't earn minimum wage. Gotta go. I'm late for work.
