The relief they'll feel once they're making a few bucks less per hour. We can't do it fast enough. The working poor are desperate and need relief. 
And God bless the GOP. This compassionate Republican wants to relieve the downtrodden of their burdensome overtime pay. Truly moving:

You tend to forget that we live in a global economy. We compete with companies in Ningbo. You have this great eutopian vision on how things should be. The facts are that ship has sailed. Ningbo doesn't pay overtime. Ningbo doesn't pay their employees anywhere near our minimum wage. Ningbo also doesn't offer healthcare benefits.
You want your computers cheap..made in CHina, your Iphone,your television,the clothes you wear. Many of the parts in the cars you drive. All from China.
You want to go to a Walmart and save big money. Well,you saved it.
