Labor Day and the American Dream
1st September 2009
As the Labor Department’s Web site notes, the original intent for the holiday was a parade that would illustrate “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations.” Over the years, however, Labor Day has morphed into little more than a three-day weekend signaling the end of summer.
So essentially it’s a semi-socialist pro-organized-labor holiday.

No, the government tried to make it a semi-socialist, pro-organized-labor holiday, but we didn’t care, and turned it into a generic family-time holiday.
Every once in a while, the conservative principles win.
