Why is there a holiday set aside to celebrate labor? This brief
video from the History Channel provides an overview of its origins within the context of class division and strife. On the other hand, Gerald Skoning in an
article today for that bastion of capitalism,
The Wall Street Journal, asks "Why Not Corporation Day?":
"Corporation Day would be a joyous celebration of capitalism, a three-day national holiday honoring the great industrialist pioneers, business barons and tycoons of our nation. We would pay grateful respects to the Mellons, Carnegies, Gettys, Fords, Rockefellers and, yes, the Kochs, for their contributions to our country's prosperity."
