Rick Santelli's Chicago Tea Party

Grayson proposes Paid Vacation Act Posted: 21 May 2009 06:57 AM PDT Democratic Rep., Alan Grayson, is introducing the Paid Vacation Act, legislation that would require private companies with more than 100 employees to pay for a week’s vacation, for both full time and part-time employees after a year on the job.  Three years after legislation is passed, companies with 50 or more employees would have to pay a week’s vacation as well. Supporters claim the federal legislation would decrease the number of sick days, improve productivity, and boost employee happiness.  Detractors, however, counter that a one-size-fits-all mandate is not the answer, nor will it positively affect small businesses.  Others opposed also claim that small businesses would cap new employment so they wouldn’t have to pay the extra expenses. What do you think?  Should the federal government mandate paid vacation for private corporations?  Does it possess the constitutional authority to do so?  Would it help or hurt private business?
