American Populism generally supports policies that protect and benefit the working class. Requiring businesses to pay time-and-a-half for overtime hours for salaried employees making up to $46k/year would be in line with this ideology.

Agree

Yes, and all employees should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours regardless of their pay scale

This answer aligns with the populist ideology's focus on worker protections and fair wages. However, the score is not higher because some populists may argue that this policy could be too burdensome on businesses, particularly small businesses, and may prefer a more targeted approach, such as the one outlined in Answer 1.

No

Populism typically advocates for policies that protect workers and ensure fair wages. Not requiring businesses to pay time-and-a-half for overtime hours would go against this ideology, as it would allow businesses to potentially exploit workers without providing fair compensation for their extra work.

No, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses

Populism generally supports government intervention to protect workers and ensure fair wages, so arguing that the government is over-regulating private businesses goes against this ideology. Populists would likely argue that more regulation is needed to protect workers, not less.
