AlterNet: A Labor Day Call to Arms By Jim Hightower, AlterNet
Fire up the old grill, do a few twelve-ounce elbow bends to stay limber and just kick back. That's what Labor Day's all about, isn't it?
No, Labor Day has gone all soft on us, and it's time to harden up on its true meaning. This holiday is not some vague tribute to men and women who labor. Rather, it's a radically democratic declaration of the intent to build and sustain a middle class in America – as bold a statement (and as fraught with peril) as Jefferson's Declaration. Far from being about taking a day off, Labor Day is about people taking democratic power.------------------------------------------- posted 8:03 AM :: reference link ::
