Maybe someone needs to tell Eric Cantor that this is NOT what Labor Day is about:
I know that for Cantor and the GOP it gets hard to separate Labor Day from unions; and I know that since unions typically support Democrats over Republicans, that must hurt. But that doesn't change history.
Attempting to redefine Labor Day to fit the frame of the current campaign (celebrating the titans of industry who built this country on the backs of millions of exploited workers) is like trying to reframe slavery as a popular jobs program for African immigrants.
Some people just get it. And then there's the GOP. Absolutely brilliant insight from The Cassandra Files Blog. Happy labor day!
