In reply to the discussion: Cantor: Today We Celebrate Those Who ‘Earned Their Own Success’ [View all]elbloggoZY27

How about the millions of hard working men and women who lost their jobs and Congress did absolutely nothing but punted. My late Uncle started his own business right after he came back from being a soldier in WW II and lost the business due to foreign competition.
Also, thanks for freezing the salaries of Federal Employees.
Oh! and by the way small business does not create jobs or wealth, it is or was large corporations who do not exist anymore like the Steel Industry or Ship Builders.
My advice for this Labor Day Holiday and when Congress returns to Washington DC you actually do something positive for every United States Citizen out of work and pass a real Jobs Bill and drop the word NO.

Like that's not a divisive statement. A slap in the face to every American who works for a paycheck.
