Oh please, America is one of the last industrialized countries to not have guaranteed paid vacations for workers.Who's going to pay for it? Your employer. It's part of the cost of doing business. They're the people who are benefitting from your labour.
Workers who take vacations are more alert, more productive. They come back refreshed and energized.
It's always laughable to me that Republicans, who promote themselves as the party of family values, don't promote vacations, maternity and family leave. They oppose the ACA, early childhood education and more money for education - while sending their own kids to private schools.
Republicans oppose any measures to help families.
Do you understand the difference between "vacations are great" and "therefore, the government should mandate them"?
The Achievements of Hugo Chavez CounterPunch Tells the Facts Names the Names
Yeah but since Chavez took power the middle class has been extinct.
I never once claimed I want to emulate venezuela, don't know where you got that from, however, holding an honest critique and conducting analysis on venezuela and recognizing the achievements it has brought forth means nothing for emulation. I never understand how people like you fail to grasp the concept that many workers today are working 2-3 jobs, struggling to get by, not having the option to get these all so "miracle jobs" you keep describing, then we have the college education requirement, which costs large amounts of money, and then we expect people to do that while working 2-3 jobs to care for their children, sick relatives, themselves, I mean, if almost every other country has paid vacations, with many doing better then us for working families, it's time we move forward, much like we need to in regards to universal healthcare, higher education, guaranteed maternity leave for long periods of time...Valenzuela is a shit hole and you want to emulate them?I will never understand this line of thought, it's as if we in America aren't allowed to recognize that other countries (Not cuba/venezuela, I mean scandinavia/etc) are doing better then us, or else we have to move there. It's such a silly way to shut down discussion.Feel free to move to VenezuelaVenezuela: Workers are entitled to enjoy 15 days of paid annual leave in the first year plus one day for each year of service with the same employer up to a maximum of 15 extra days.[5]
United states: There is no statutory minimum.
Personally if a company wants to pay people not to work it's none of my business.
But in all honesty if you take a job for a company that does not provide the benefits you want then it's your own fault.
No, stupid, we're just saying even a shithole like Venezuela (and most others) have more worker rights than we do, PUB DUPE. And your heroes in reality just love easily bullied illegal workers to keep your wages down even more, CHUMP. Arrrggghhh...Valenzuela is a shit hole and you want to emulate them?I will never understand this line of thought, it's as if we in America aren't allowed to recognize that other countries (Not cuba/venezuela, I mean scandinavia/etc) are doing better then us, or else we have to move there.

Christ with all our advantages, you're afraid of competing with those shitholes on a semi-equal basis. I'm all right, Jack idiocy of the Pub dupe....
Where?Can you read? lol. I know plenty who get next to nothing or unpaid vacation....pathetic, Pub dupe.
All I'm doing is showing the workers leave, that's it, I can just throw up Norway/the uk/etc if you want.Venezuela: Workers are entitled to enjoy 15 days of paid annual leave in the first year plus one day for each year of service with the same employer up to a maximum of 15 extra days.[5]

Woo ... you sure can pick 'em:
As recently as 2013, the socialist gov't of Venezuela was unable to deliver milk, flour and other staples to its people despite the country's vast oil wealth and as of December 2014, Venezuela's inflation rate was 68.5%. The solution? Plenty of "free" money for everyone! WooHoo!
What I'm saying is there is no free lunch and all socialist gov'ts become far less attractive once they run out of OPC (Other People's Cash) to spend on YOUR favorite freebies. I guess next you'll tout the virtues of Greece and Syriza. Wait ... maybe not, eh?
Paid vacations, pensions, healthcare, sick days, maternity leave, dental are all out dated concepts. It's all about the chosen few having it all. Again

That is making its way up the clueless post of the year...
UK has 28 days mandatory holidays and 9 public ones...
Now start again on your socialist crap...
Venezuela is engaged in a vicious race to the bottom fueled by generous gov't freebies and falling revenue. The country is sliding into economic disaster and dictatorship. You socialists would have us join the Venezuelans who "stand in lines for hours waiting to buy whatever may be available."
Paid vacations, pensions, healthcare, sick days, maternity leave, dental are all out dated concepts. It's all about the chosen few having it all. Again
Except for a vast majority of the world... Only in the US has it been brainwashed out of there heads...
US is only one country in 3 in the world with no maternity care.... F*ck families & F*ck the mothers....
The US while talking a big game on Family Values are complete hypocrites when having to pay for it...
Only if "civilized" means "lives up to your arbitrary, progressive standards" - thus, your position is laughable.Of all modern countries we're the most uncivilized...Another laughable proposition..It barely exists here-Laughable at best, the idea that civilization can only exist with a month's paid vacation.A month, after a year. It's called civilization. See the world, don't be an angry dupe.Hell, my last job we had rollover vacation and 5 weeks/year max. When I left cashed out like 9 weeks of vacation. Shit, how much time does one really need off?
:Lol:
Tell me more about catalonia, the free ukraine, and if we count the USSR as communist, tell me more about the most rapid industrialization and productivity gains ever witnessed. Yeah, yeah, I know you want to believe that, but empirical evidence is against you.For instance, here's my rule: I will bring my substantial experience and skills to solve your problem for which you will pay me confiscatory levels of cash. It's a very simple equation.... Remove the confiscatory rewards and I tend to lose interest in your problem... INSTANTLY.
See how that works?
This is an outright lie.We're closer to Haiti than any other modern country.If they're not democratic, they're not socialist, since WW II, dupes. Cuba is relenting , giving some capitalism to the people- obviously N. Korea is nuts. You want a diagram?So you DON"T know what capitalism is? lolYou call haiti a capitalist country?
So I guess cuba and north korea are the same?
I'm not the one trying to compare Haitis brand of capitalism to the American version.
Thanks for proving my point.
