Fact is there are alot of people who work more than 40 hours a week and only get paid there regular salary. They do that for career advancement, incentive bonuses etc. Not everyone works for Broncos city where they think its acceptable to increase property tax every year. I take courses on the weekend at SAIT, do I expect to get paid for those, no - I do expect my extra effort to be rewarded when it comes time for career advancement or salary bonuses.

Yes... but that is the employee's choice and they are hoping it pays off. What Reggie said was that it's wrong for an employer to "expect" uncompensated overtime. In that, he's dead on.
If you as an employee accept that overtime is part of the job and not over and beyond expectations, you're being fleeced. Again, different then what you describe as you are putting in extra effort in the hope that you will be rewarded with better jobs/pay/noteriety.
