GOP to Help Middle Class by Repealing Labor Day Holiday


WASHINGTON DC, D.C. (USA)

In an effort to address jobs, the economy and improving the working class standard of living, the GOP is preparing to introduce a bill to repeal the Labor Day National Holiday.

“It’s ironic that a national holiday created to allegedly reward workers actually costs the real job creators in America billions of dollars a year in lost productivity, which in turn just means higher consumer costs, fewer jobs, and lower wages”, said Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday.

While the controversial measure has broad Republican support, it is widely being driven and supported by the Tea Party. A recent Gallup poll just released Monday showed a full 90% of voters who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters said they agreed that they would be better off if they didn’t have the day off for Labor Day.

“It’s a question of unintended consequences”, said Tea Party favorite Rand Paul. “The Labor Day holiday is well intentioned, but it’s basically just a giant tax on businesses and a huge burden on the tax payers. If we really want to improve the standard of living for the working class and get spending under control, we need to get rid of these burdensome paid holidays.”

Added Rick Santorum this weekend on Meet the Press, “The bible says the Lord took man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work…it doesn’t say anything about paid holidays on the backs of taxpayers and job creators.”

As for President Obama, he’s refused to comment on the issue thus far, but aides close to the Administration have said that the President is secretly working on a grand compromise where he would agree to repeal the Labor Day Holiday if the GOP leaders agree to “friend” him on Facebook.

That's rich coming from these idiots. How many hours do they work? How much vacation do they get and are they paid for holidays?

3. This is pathetic ... cretins reaching new hights of irrelevance.

A giant tax on businesses...tax payers...So is New Year's Day and all the football games and the parties and the beer and chips. Back to work and watch 'em on your iPod during breaks. Or, set it back to Dec. 31 so it can be a tax deduction for "business". We can repurpose it Old Year's Day.

6. What's sad is...

Clearly most people thought it was true. That's how utterly fucked up things are.

By the way, I wrote it a few years back. I can't even remember the website I posted it on.

9. The lines are fuzzy and getting fuzzier.

I admit, I was halfway expecting someone to write back, "Don't you know how to use the Google Machine, Chucklenuts? It's right out there, HR1341, 'An Act to Repeal the Affordable Care Act, and, Oh Yeah, Labor Day, Too'" along with a few veiled comments about my intelligence (or lack thereof).

10. Yup, pretty hard to...

Satirize the right anymore. There's almost nothing they haven't/wouldn't say or do. Literally almost nothing.

5. What would they think about Christmas instead?

I might want a nice late summer day off rather than a cold midwinter one.
