Here's an article from Politico, Florida Democrat, Representative Alan Grayson standing in front of Disney world announced he will introduce the Paid Vacation act taht would require companies of more than 100 employees to offer one week vacation for both full and PART TIME employees after a year on the job. Then after three years, they'd be required to provide two weeks vacation. Companies with with 50-100 employees would have to provide one week after three years of employment.

Here's another example of government exerting more and more control over the private sector through an unfunded mandate at a time when many companies are struggling.
What they fail to accept is that where a person works is a choice. If someone doesn't like the terms of employment, there are other jobs out there. This might be a tough time to go job hunting, but that's reality.
Perhaps the motive is to perhaps imagine having more potential customers to max out their credit cards for a pilgrimage to the Magic Kingdom or other attractions in his district.
While many joke that the current crop of Democrats are pointing us in the direction of government French style, they require 30 days paid vacation. Ooo-lah-lah.
We certainly believe it is in the employer's interest to look out for his employees and grant reasonable vacations, but that decision should be made by the employer not the governor.
So what happens if businesses cut wages to fund the loss of manpower or hiring help from a temp agency? Would the other shoe drop and employers be told, you can't do that!
Remember, many small business owners are going to be paying more taxes under the Obama plan which will stress resources and cost jobs to begin with.
Don't use the "S" word -- as in socialism or the liberal press will give you a good scolding!
