Working overtime is a good way to earn extra money to support your family or keep a business functioning. Although working overtime can be a good thing there are many disadvantages such as burnout, reduced quality of life, health consequences, occupational injuries, ect.. Why tax an American for overtime hours when they have already been taxed for a regular 40 hour week? This should be fixed by paying a worker with two separate checks one for regular work hours and another for overtime hours which should be untaxed.
