Thread: Hatch Act Restrictions.

Sometimes it's just rough. I recently applied for a job that requires that I follow the rules of the Hatch Act. It prohibits me from getting involved in certain political activities. It's the law so I now have a part-time job that is funded by the federal government. I can work 20 hours a week at $5.15 an hour. After federal, state, and local taxes were deducted I earned $64.00 for the first week. That is $3.20 an hour after taxes. I venture to say that there is not one illegal who earns that wage. Thank you America for helping the illegals who are hard working and sending their incomes home. Thank you America for taking care of your own. I'll survive...How? Let me see....find some legal cousins to move in with. Together we should be able to help each other by sharing the normal expenses of everyday life. Hummmmmm. At $64 a week that would take about 30 of my fellow cousins. We will make it!

Hatch Act can be found at http://www.osc.gov/hatchact.htm

Boy, does that ever suck.............think I'd have to tell them where they could stick that job. In fact............I KNOW I WOULD.

The whole matter went to far , now it's going to take time to fix.

The senate that is so generous to illegals just shot down a proposal to raise the minimum wage. Whose pocket are they in?

Ruthiela and I keep tellin' ya

WORLD BANK is the pocket that bought and paid for these fools


Thanks for the link to the Hatch Act. that's another thing to thonk them between the eyes for!

Penalties for Violating the Hatch Act
