Who is Our Economy FOR, Anyway?

In the United States there is no legal minimum number of vacation days for workers. I guess we're all supposed to be thankful to the rich for "giving us jobs."

The rest of the world? Different. (As you read this, remember that 20 days means minimum four weeks vacation by law, not three.)

Here are a few examples:

Austria: 5 weeks, for elderly employees 6 weeks

Belgium: 20 days, premium pay

Brazil: 30 consecutive days, of which 10 can be sold back to the employer

Bulgaria: 20 business days

Croatia: 18 working days

European Union: 4 weeks, more in some countries

France: 7 weeks

Tunisia: 30 work days

Saudi Arabia: 15 days

Who else gets none? China...

So a question: Who is our economy FOR, anyway?
