Labor Day Is A Celebration Of The American Worker And His/Her Contribution, NOT A Celebration Of Unions

Liberals in general, President Obama in particular, will use today as a reason to celebrate and support unions but that's not why this holiday was created.

It was created to celebrate the industriousnes of American workers and their contribution to the success of our society. It was established in part to celebrate the good in American workers' work ethic. Perhaps today should be a day for serious consideration what has become of that work ethic.

Labor Day was created to celebrate the independent, hard-working spirit of American workers, of Americans in general. Look around yourselves honestly folks. Where do you really see that spirit operating these days? Self-indulgence, outright laziness and government dependency abound and are growing rapidly.

Maybe this should be a day for us to mourn that we're losing what this day used to stand for.
