Rick Santorum -- Crusader for the Ameircan Worker!

Rick Santorum has upset the Club For Growth and other fantastic organizations with his crazy proposal to raise the minimum wage to $6.25 over a year and a half!! Not only that, but this amendment he is proposing would create flexibility that would benefit workers everywhere! Instead of having a silly 40 hour work week, we would have an 80 hour two week work period! This means that you could work 60 hours one week and 20 hours the next, and not have to worry about pesky overtime wages! But wait, there's more! Staunch states-rights supporter Sen. Santorum wants to make states adopt a 100% tip credit system! Why should resturants be forced by state governments to pay tipped employees anything at all if they break the minimum wage mark with their tips?? He could have stopped there, but when you are on a crusade to improve America's work places, why would you? Sen. Santorum wants businesses that have fewer than $1 million in revenues to be exempt from the minimum wage and overtime laws. The 6.8 million American workers at firms that will be brought under this new umbrella should call the Senator and thank him personally.
