Amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to include not overtime pay, but simply pay for salaried, professional workers.

The cornerstone of a free market economy: trust, meaning that known goods and services are traded for known prices. If either the buyer or seller arbitrarily mandates exchange conditions, one party loots the other. If a salaried employee works 8 hours a day one month, then 12 hours a day the next, the employee's time and services have been valued 33% less the second month. The only condition that has changed from one month to the next: the employer's need of the employee. Under the laws of market equilibrium, this demand for time and services would increase the price of them, but instead the inverse occurs. By sanctioning this practice, the government is funding corporate welfare. By halting this practice, it can create innumerable jobs and cease abuses made popular by the recession.
