I want to talk about my favorite fairytale called "The lost American Dream".
Once upon a time, there was a country that was the brightest beacon of freedom in the world. It was free from oppression, you had a guaranteed set of rights that were not to ever be infringed upon and one a single person in the family could be the provider and quality family time was valued above all else. Then came t...he second revolution where things became unraveled.
Now it takes both members if the family to be the provider and in many cases they have to have more than one job just to accomplish that. The American family values have been list to those who are the worker ants. The peasants to the industrialized big business "kings" have to give up many family events even on holidays because big business has seemed to deem it necessary that only the elite can enjoy family time because you and I have to work to make their dream a reality. The initiative of family values are long but gone and that dream has long since died.
I propose legislation that would force businesses to pay living wages with an annual cost of living increase in pay on top of performance based reviews to also gain raises in pay. The legislation would also prevent businesses from working on federal holidays excluding medical facilities and police and emergency crews . These services are in much need and very difficult to reduce their valued efforts to protect and save lives. I would strongly encourage these services to reduce as much time served on these holidays so that each person can work but shifts be limited on duration so everyone has family time. Its time we enjoy family life again.
