Republicans call to celebrate Anti-Labor Day
In order to save money and celebrate the Corporation's mastery over labor, Republican's today called to transform Labor Day into a holiday celebrating those who provide, not engage in, Labor. Under the Republican plan instead of being a paid holiday with its economic drain on employers, the new Labor Provider's Day will become a day when employees give back to their benefactors by going to work for a day without getting paid.

"This is the kind of shared sacrifice we need from workers to honor their employers" said Simon Legree VI, "The Founding Father's believed in the plantation nation, and if employees want to keep their jobs they are going to have to be willing to forgo progressive notions like fair pay and decent working condition."

Said a spokesman for the Spigot of the House, "If this new concept in Holiday compensation proves successful we will, of course, be looking at changing all paid holidays into Employer Appreciation Days. Though, of course, Christmas would be the most logical step. After all what could be more in the spirit of the season than giving your employer a present he will really appreciated by going to work for free on Christmas Day."

Remember, employees come and go, but employers make campaign contributions for ever. Ignore Labor. Support Employer Appreciation Days

2. I would give the Congressional Rethugs a "present" for Christmas
By taking a dump on their desk, and by writing my name in piss on their office carpeting.
