| Aug 22, 2019 at 5:00 | comment | added | David Schwartz | @DaleM I don't read it that way. I don't think it's asking what the motivation is for constructing the FLSA as it is but what other components of the FLSA make this rule make sense in the context of the rest of the FLSA. That is a legal question. If someone asked "Why can companies deduct expenses but I can't deduct the value of my labor on my income tax", you could understand that as asking what political reason produced that result, but I think it's much more likely that they want an explanation why this apparent unfairness makes logical sense given the other rules (if it does). | |
