"Job Creators" are honored daily with their huge salaries and low tax rates. Look up the history of Labor day. It is for those who do manual labor.

Then why all the crying by illegal supporters that illegals can't get VISA's? The supporters of illegals also claim produce is going to waste because farmers can't get enough VISA's.

Because their supporters are lying to defend illegal immigration on all counts.

I have just read 5 links about the history of labor day and none use the word (manual) labor.
Working class is used. That would exclude all elected reps including the Dems.
Last time I checked and correct me if I am wrong no where is it written that Labor day is a holiday except for job creators.
