Labor Day. Isn’t that the day all of us working people celebrate the fact that we are employed and get to pay for the other half who we provide for? You know….like working your a$$ off to provide for those who don’t even know what the word ‘work’ even means.
No lou, that’s the day red states celebrate receiving federal tax dollars from the blue states and the day red counties that voted for Trump celebrate only producing 39% of our national GDP while riding in the wagon provided by the blue Harris counties which produce 61% of our national GDP.
