Eric Cantor insults workers everywhere
by David Atkins
Eric Cantor tweets:
Today, we celebrate those who have taken a risk, worked hard, built a business and earned their own success.
As a small business owner who understands that my value to society is no more than that of a teacher, and who knows that my activism does far more for humanity than the smattering of jobs and economic activity my business creates, I would like to be the first to tell Eric Cantor to go to hell.
Nor is Eric Cantor the first to make statements in this vein today.
What the GOP is doing this Labor Day is akin to thanking weapons manufacturers on Memorial Day. It's sick, disrespectful and little more than tonedeaf plutocratic jingoism. It's not enough for them to own all the power and the money, crushing everyone underneath them. They want to be loved for it.
Fat chance.
