“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period,” Rep. Virginia Foxx said during a hearing about people who work too much.
House Republicans held a hearing Wednesday throwing cold water on President Joe Biden’s plan to give more workers overtime protections.
Even though the hearing was about employees who work long hours, the GOP chair of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce took a moment to argue that too many Americans don’t want to work at all.
“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period … and want other people to take care of them,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).
This woman has worked in politics for nearly 30 years. She has no idea what work even is anymore.
Yeah, but see: she worked incredibly hard to
- defeat hate crimes prevention legislation
- prevent extending disaster aid to Kathrina victims
- prevent the expansion of the Voting Rights Act
- prevent the Armenian genocide from being declared a “genocide”
and she firmly stood her ground in telling everyone that Obamacare was a danger to the nation bigger than any terrorist attack on America ever could be.
That’s a lot of hard work, you see?
It’s “showing up for a paycheck”
Just another reason to add term limits.
Give politicians minimum wage, the worst publicly available healthcare plan, dorm style living, prison food and 40hrs of mandatory office time and no overtime for floor time and they will all start singing a different tune.
They need to really walk in someone else’s shoes so they understand what’s really wrong in America.
Tie their pay to the median income for their district. Give them a direct incentive to increase the quality of life for the people they represent.
They don’t make their money in salary. They make their money in investments, kickbacks, and donations.

Somebody give the Grim Reaper another roll of quarters for the claw machine. Why stop at just Kissinger?
She is an expert on laziness however
These fuckers will make up anything with no data to back it up to whine about “laziness” when nothing short of abject slavery is what they want— and even then, they’d still complain.
She lives in a gerrymandered district that not only means she barely has to campaign or work, her district strategically cuts chunks out of two very blue NC cities.
Fuck her lazy incompetent ass and everything she stands for.
Source: my vote is specifically suppressed by her district.
“OK Boomer” is literally designed for this.
No shit, that’s why you have to pay them money to do it. An aversion to unnecessary toil is not a moral failing.
Sounds like this elderly woman is still pushing the American dream and welfare queen myths, echoes from political talking points of old.Removed by mod
I hope she gets that new respiratory thing going around. Fuck her and the horse that rode her in.
I’d feel bad for the virus
Says the bitch who tried to give herself a vacation in the form of a government shut down. Fuck alllll the way off
Imagine taking 100k moneys to an investor. A year later you check in and they say “Great news, you have 100k moneys as of Jan 1st.” You tell that person to piss off and you take your money elsewhere. They lament, “No one wants to invest anymore!”
If it doesn’t pay to work, why be miserable AND poor? The next time you hear someone say no one wants to work just tell them to shut the fuck up.
Oh yeah, I remember this repulsive bag of wrinkles. It’s like Colonel Sanders and the Cryptkeeper had a love child.
Great…and what exactly does that have to do with people working overtime and not getting paid for it?
I’m guessing she means “those lazy bums won’t even work overtime without extra pay”
Can we collectively agree that the proper response to “nobody wants to work anymore” is “no shit” or “nobody ever did”?
It’s not like we keep inventing tools to make work easier. The problem is capitalists then go, " Oh cool, now you can produce more."
People: Work overtime. Republicans: NOBODY WANTS TO WORK!!
