Take the no tax on overtime promise. It turns out that a maximum of only $12,500 in overtime will be exempt from tax. I guess that was somehow left out of the promise. I'm sure the billionaire class got most of what they wanted in this bill though.
"Only" $12,500 in overtime is exempt??? ONLY????? At $20/hr that's 625 hours/yr or 12.5 hours/week given 2 weeks vacation. How much overtime does one think the average worker accumulates? Yes, some will work more, but ON AVERAGE????? And $12,500 exempt is far better than the current ZERO. Amazing how some use trite rhetoric to try to turn a good thing into a bad thing. That's the true pile of crap.
