On the day set aside to honor those who labor in America, here’s a modest proposal: Let’s clearly lift up not just the millions of our countrymen and women purportedly represented by what have become virulently leftist unions, but the vastly larger number us who are not.
For starters, let’s take a page out of the Left’s playbook and rename Labor Day. How about calling it instead “All American Workers Day.”
This would explicitly recognize everyone who works for the common good, unlike the current holiday which generally emphasizes those whose dues support labor organizations. That’s especially desirable since, unlike most of their American members, many of those unions are deeply hostile to this nation.
Going forward, let us celebrate, and thereby encourage, love of country and all those who work to make America a stronger, more prosperous and freer nation.
