Just cut taxes, that way people can keep more of the money they earn, without being paid more by the employer, and without having to work more hours.

Revenue from low-income earners is so insignificant anyway, that'd barely have any effect on the overall budget.

Wow, is that being on-site, or do you actually work all that time? Sounds like a cool job anyway, I hope it pays well at least.

I see, getting all that taxpayer money already made you lazy like a socialist. /s

Increased productivity means more output for the input, having people work longer hours doesn't increase productivity.

Also if you MEAN more people in full time jobs then you say "part timers moving into full time employments. Or part time workers getting more hours. You don't say "people have to work longer hours". IN normal speak :longer hours" means more hours than normal.

40 productive hours a week for 47 or 48 weeks a year, less public holidays, is all anyone should need to work to be able to make enough of a living to get by in reasonable comfort.

I think he is more talking about supporting a system where you don't have people working at McDonald's in their 30's and 40's for a living, making minimum wage, and constantly complaining about the government not helping or them not get paid enough. We do, and maybe it's just a modern thing, have this problem.

In Colombia is 40 - 48 hours a week, and 15 days of paid vacations in a year. Additionally minimum wage is 250 U$ per month.

I work 12 hours yesterday. Thats half a day. I refuse to work anymore. "Need to work more" my ass. Is this the solution for poor wages in America; work more?

You know, I couldn't care less about how/why Warren avoids taxes, the rich shouldn't be able to get a near 0% tax rate regardless...

No one should be at 0% tax rate imo.  If everyone paid taxes even if only a small amount, we wouldn't have this ridiculous amount of national debt.  

At my job, I work 50 hour weeks on average, 60+ during crunch time. Since I'm salary, the amount of money I earn during those 60 hour weeks is the same as the 50 hour weeks. I haven't taken a vacation since February.

Meanwhile, in our German office, they are require to NOT exceed 40 hours a week, and they get the equivalent of 3 months vacation, as well as a ton of bank holidays. I swear, every time I need to talk to the ops guy in the German office, he's on a week long vacation.

Screw this guy and his warped notion that working longer hours = more productivity = more pay. From my understanding, research actually implies the opposite. Your productivity plummets when you exceed 40 hours and the diminishing returns don't make it worth it. But, hey, we're just salary, so it's not like the company has to foot the bill for the extra hours that are of low productivity. It's just gravy for them.
