It's regressive because the only thing it will achieve is to broaden the gap between the rich and the rest of us. The rules Bush wants to put in place will have us working more overtime and not getting paid for it. And under the rules a company doesn't have to compensate a worker for the comp time he has accrued for 5 years. In that time a lot of things can happen, like the company making tons of money off the interest they save, and perhaps the worker getting fired so the company doesn't have to give him his 2.5 years of vacation time he has earned by that point.
That's why it's regressive. It's making us slaves
