For al those celebrating Labor Day with their families and friends, take a step back and thank those that came before us to make this day special for all those that work hard at their jobs. In fact, in this era of pooh-poohing the alleged rise of Socialism in our society, take a second to reflect on the fact that if it was not for the difficult efforts of those seeking to level the playing field between employers and employees, we would not be enjoying the benefits of this holiday (or for that matter, many others). Some aspects of "collective benefits" are something Americans find difficult to tolerate to an extent, yet enjoy its benefits daily. So let's all appreciate the efforts of those that came before us and recognize the value of hard work by working Americans and embrace the positives of sharing benefits we as Americans take for granted. May we also point out that some aspects of sharing collective benefits have been a part of America's fabric and not all of it is so bad or dangerous to our culture as many are led to believe.
Let's take a step back and think real hard about all of the things we collectively enjoy as a society. United we stand, divided we fall. Too bad so many on the Far Right and the current GOP, in an effort to preserve their power, prefer to divide us into tribal camps seeking to have all Americans distrust each other in an effort to preserve their current reins of control. America must wake up soon (by November) and reaffirm its faith in the institutions currently being attacked by our president and his political supporters (before it is too late). Hate has no place in our society. Real patriotism demands we unite and pursue all of the benefits of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness only when we appreciate that "All Men Are Created Equal" regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds, wealth, education or political beliefs.
As President Theodore Roosevelt once wrote; "It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things." Happy Labor Day America! Have a great week!
