Part of the Zionist agenda for goyim.  {human cattle}--Free coinage act of 1792--1 dollar established at 25.8 grains of gold--412.5 grains of silver.  One $20 gold piece {1oz} now commands @ $1600.00 per oz.--80 so called 20 dollar bills.  $1.00 divided by 80 = .0125 cents.  Feeling any richer?

Labor Day has come to be celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. In high society, Labor Day is (or was) considered the last day of the year when it is fashionable to wear white or seersucker.

In 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York. Others argue that it was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882,after witnessing the annual labor festival held in Toronto, Canada.

Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day. Following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland reconciled with Reyes, leader of the labor movement. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike.The September date originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by many of the nation’s trade unions for the past several years was selected rather than the more widespread International Workers’ Day because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would be associated with the nascent Communist, Syndicalist and Anarchist movements that, though distinct from one another, had rallied to commemorate the Haymarket Affair in International Workers’ Day. All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the territories have made it a statutory holiday.

yup Although labor day isn't really about unions, Unions did a lot of good for workers in the early days, but as time went on the labor unions morphed into leftest democrat support group, getting in bed with government with the use of lobbyist, this union of government and unions would make Hitler proud, they are now more about sick agenda's power and control.

It matters not what the workers want, the workers have become a funding source for greed and corruption & special interest, that are not necessarily for the good of the worker.

U.S. gas prices at highest ever for Labor Day weekend

September 3, 2012

The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline hit $3.80 on Monday, up 14 cents from the same time last year, the highest price ever recorded during a Labor Day weekend, GasBuddy.com reports.

U.S. drivers hit the road in droves in one of the nation’s busiest weekends, seemingly undeterred by the high gas prices, due, in part, to Hurricane Isaac, which forced oil refineries on the Gulf Coast to close, according to Reuters.

On Friday, the average price of gas was $3.83 per gallon, according to AAA. Monday’s price of $3.80 beat the Labor Day record of $3.68 set in 2008, the association reported.

The ultimate empty chair image - sad. Favorite quote?  "Finally, something Barack Obama did help build!" (with a little help from his friends Reagan, Bush, Clinton & Bush2.0. [redux] and more that came before)
Chair warfare:

Well, 2 actually. This is if the GOP candidate gets in, just rearranging the deck chairs.  Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Finally, something BarackObama did help build!

hey, an empty chair trumps "thin-air", which is how our money is magically being printed.

Gas here in the Filippines is nearing $6.00 a gallon. Funny to watch people buy gas by the quart. You want to fill your SUV? Say only 10 gal. That is 40litre times 60piso. That works out to about 50 bucks. That could be a months wages.
