We have to tools to correct this abuse, what we lack is the
will to use these tools to do so...

Thank god we do not have the will to impose more regulations on
businesses.
Under your plan every employee would have to punch a time clock.
In
my entire working life , I never had to punch a time clock. And
yet I did work a reasonable amount of overtime.

Would George also support monitoring and restrictions on excessive
domestic energy consumption to reduce CO2 emissions? There is
already
the legal precedent of municipal water use restrictions.


I would support monitoring and restrictions when we can do it in
China and India as well as the US.

I tossed that out as another example of how punishing restrictions
imposed on "them" (businesses, gun owners, et al) will boomerang back
on "us".
