Talking Re: How safe is the 40 hour work week in the USA?

Ive been self employed for the past 12 years.Learned when I was very young that overtime was a joke,taxes took it all. Ageeing to salary gave the employer liscence to work you to death. The name of the game is to get as much work from employees as possible, while paying them the least amount of money you can. There are very few employers whose outlook is to pay people well. Even fewer acknowledge the need for people to have free time, family time, or a life away from work.My belief is that anyone who has the ability to do so..should work for themselves.Its great :: I work about 60 hours a week, and right now I dont pay myself,because its a new business.I dont however, have anyone to be angry at.
