“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.).

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.
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.
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
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.Yeah she pushing them because they still work on her dumb fuck boomer constituents.
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”
“OK Boomer” is literally designed for this.
Oh yeah, I remember this repulsive bag of wrinkles. It’s like Colonel Sanders and the Cryptkeeper had a love child.
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."
Obama tried to do a similar move through an executive order near the end of his second term. My job at the time scrambled to give me a raise just above the proposed threshold. I declined and said I’ll take the time and a half. Ibwas routinely working 60+ hour weeks at that time. Trump repealed that order early in his term, and I didn’t get that raise. I left that job a few months later.
This woman has worked in politics for nearly 30 years. She has no idea what work even is anymore.
She is an expert on laziness however
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?
Somebody give the Grim Reaper another roll of quarters for the claw machine. Why stop at just Kissinger?
GraftingFundraisers and diatribes take a lot out of you at that age.
People: Work overtime. Republicans: NOBODY WANTS TO WORK!!
I like to whip this out everytime the “no one wants to work” line comes up. 😁
What a bitter, delusional, hateful old lady.
