We're turning into France

Thanks to Obama's example, now other democrats are getting in on the act of meddling in the day-to-day operation of private companies. First they regulated bonuses, then salaries, now it's how much paid vacation they must give to employees....

Rep. Alan Grayson was standing in the middle of Disney World when it hit him: What Americans really need is a week of paid vacation.

So on Thursday, the Florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation Act — legislation that would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law.

The bill would require companies with more than 100 employees to offer a week of paid vacation for both full-time and part-time employees after they’ve put in a year on the job. Three years after the effective date of the law, those same companies would be required to provide two weeks of paid vacation, and companies with 50 or more employees would have to provide one week.

Who's business is it besides the board of directors' how much vacation employees of private companies get? It's certainly not for meddling politicians to dictate. Vacation, sick-leave, salary, health care, dental, company cars, expense accounts, etc., are not rights of employees. They are means by which private companies compete for labor. Those that offer the best benefits, tend to get the best employees. But thanks to generations of liberal indoctrination, most Americans think perks like health care and fabulous vacation packages are their birth-right as employees.

Rep. Grayson thinks that more vacationers will stimulate the economy, especially the economy in his home state of Florida. But what about the lost productivity to the companies? As a smarmy liberal, he doesn't care about the health of companies, just the gratitude of it's employees come election time.
