“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.).

    Delicious irony coming from a politician. Their definition of “work” is tirelessly obstructing and shouting down the other side. Especially for the GOP, if regression fails, accomplishing nothing is still considered a success.

    If all I do at work is argue and refuse to do my job, guess how long I’ll last?

    Bitch needs to step out of the silver spoon ivy league elite political bubble she’s spent the last two decades in – back to the real version of reality, perpetual hell the rest of us are stuck in. The one where every day is a struggle to get by and only one taking care of us is the person in the mirror.
