“We’re the first ones to starve, the first ones to die, The first ones in line for that pie in the sky.And we’re always last when the cream is shared outCause the worker is working when the fat cat’s about.And when the sky darkens and the prospect is warWho’s given a gun and then pushed to the foreAnd expected to die for the land of our birthThough we’ve never owned one lousy handful of dirt?”The Dropkick Murphies – “Worker’s Song”
LABOR IS PRIOR TO, AND INDEPENDENT OF, CAPITAL. CAPITAL IS ONLY THE FRUIT OF LABOR, AND COULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED IF LABOR HAD NOT FIRST EXISTED. LABOR IS THE SUPERIOR OF CAPITAL, AND DESERVES MUCH THE HIGHER CONSIDERATION.
I wish folks would remember what holidays are – and are not. Labor Day is supposed to be a day to remember the hard-working folks who made this country great, It should be an excuse to sell more cars and mattresses.

Here’s to my mom – an original Rosie the Riveter! I treasure the picture of her in her work jumpsuit.

Same for Presidents Day and Thanksgiving.

Read The Honest Working Man — which may have lain centuries in ignorance, if not partially resurrected by a beer commercial.
