Labor Day

I am one of those who grew up with the Jerry Lewis telethon as the mainstay of the Labor Day holiday. It was one of those things that we watched every Labor Day just to see who was going to be on. We always waited patiently for the tote board to roll over to the next million. Jerry has got to be thinking about all the fun he had when he and Moses were doing the circuit is the Sinai Desert. That must be why he spent so much time in Vegas.

So now I have a family and they have no clue who Jerry Lewis is. We have not maintained the Labor Day ritual of enjoying the entertainers on the telethon stage or waiting for the tote board to roll over to the next big number. We have adjusted our Labor Day to be a day with friends and family. Poor Jerry has taken a back seat to the whole event. Of course Dino is no longer available to sign autographs so the Martin and Lewis are kaput.

But Labor Day is about celebrating the working man. It is about taking the time to realize that we are all part of the wheels that have made this nation great. All of us contributing to the largest economic engine in the world and making sure that America stays great. It is perplexing that labor would be so anxious to create a world where we are no longer the economic engine for the world. Forcing companies to pay for benefits that only benefit the union creates increased costs for the rest of the country. When profit becomes a liability instead of an asset we are in trouble. Just look at how the liberals are focusing on the profits of the oil companies. They were made legitimately but the greedy, psycho, whacked out liberals are trying to scavenge them and redistribute the wealth to the non-producers. Talk about Obama Hood, I mean Robin hood and his approach to leading through change. I think that means that is all you will have left in your pocket once he is elected. I think it goes, "A pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of."
