Today, working people across the country reflect on the struggles of the middle class in America, while thanking those who have been part of the struggle, namely Democrats.
Republicans celebrate outsourcing, record corporate profits and CEO pay, and tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, while those low wage, low information voters who celebrate (and vote for) the Republican Party express their contempt for the struggling middle class, while secretly wishing the same slave wage on others as they willingly and dutifully accept.
To those who fight for a disappearing middle class, Happy Labor Day.
And Obama and the Democrats support insourcing of illegal immigrant labor and rewarding them with amnesty and work permits. What was that you were saying about giving a damn when 23 million Americans are out of work right now? It is the Democrats that want a two class society. The haves and those on the government teet.

speak for yourself: I am willing to bet 80% or more could care less why we celebrate Labor Day. To most people it simply is the end of the summer as we know it, we grill steaks or burgers, we get together with family and friends and we live with the fact, it is the last holiday until Veterans DAy, the last official one that is.

When government regulation, and taxation is too burdensome, making it difficult to compete, outsourcing is sometimes the only solution. Case in point: Chevy Volt, being built in China because of the high tariffs to build them here and export to China. Thanks to Obama, we even gave them the battery techology that went along with that car.
GM went bankrupt for lack of profits, and this was largely due to the financial burden that labor unions place on the company. Unions demand more and more, till they break the back of the company (Delphi Packard too), and then whine when the business must close. Never the less, Obama broke the law, and paid Uninon employees first, instead of bond holders (owners of the company) who were legally entitled to be paid first. But Obama never saw a law he wouldn't hesitate to break, and the owners of GM got screwed. That is Obama's "unions before owners" philosophy.
The wealthy already pay over 90% of all taxes. Why shouldn't they get a break? While people like you pay little or nothing at all.
Every dollar taken out of the private sector through taxation is a dollar not used for business expansion, and therefore job creation.
New business start-ups depend on capital investment. Without it, there would be fewer new business start-ups, and therefore, fewer jobs. That is part of the problem we have today. The Obama administration threatens the job creators with higher taxes. Guess where that goes? They downsize or remain in a no-growth or slow-growth state, because they are uncertain of what the government is going to do to them.
So, Danny boy, if you are without a job right now, you have Obama to thank, and Labor unions, who refuse to budge on their demands for more, and more, and more.

You see, people do "build that," and that is a fundamental characteristic of the entrepreneurial spirit that is representative of Americans.
I suspect, however, that you are not one of those people. No, you are more of the "occupy" mentality. You want the wealth of someone else redistributed to you. Well, Danny boy, that is theft, and you don't deserve what you didn't earn!

Yessir, you surely are right. I read the other day that John Boehner hadn't read that platform, either. In other words you failed this test. Both you and John Boehner join me in not reading that thing because of its length. I knew you took your information about that thing from some left leaning blog when I saw that you failed to say anything about Agenda 21 and several of the more important points in it.
Here is a place where you and your bolster friends could read the platform that the Republicans approved last week at their convention. Maybe I could dig up a copy of the Dem platform if you fail again.
