Solidarity and respect from germany comrades ;)! Keep the Red Flag flying

Have to remind people what life was like before the liberal labor movements of the early 1900s. Where you were an expendable, near slave laborer. Where you were lucky to if you could feed, shelter, cloth yourself let alone a family. Where you were lucky if you finished the day with your health. Have to let people know that if things continue as they are, those old days will return. Have to point out to people that a little socialism is not communism but if things return to how things were in the early 1900s, you will get communism as a result.

If the workers are organized, all they have to do is to put their hands in their pockets and they have got the capitalist class whipped.—William Dudley "Big Bill" Haywood

We may not run America, but we make America run.

No " Labor Day" parades or celebrations anywhere near me! The C.F.R. and S.B.A. has quietly ended any significance of Labor or Workers!

Another affluent liberal telling us what to think and how to vote. Labor Day is nothing but a casual end-of-summer holiday for wealthy liberals. The rest of us have to work. Thanks for nothing.
