Happy Labor Day 2011

I give you the following:

This is a link to my “Bringing The Pain” posts on unemployment throughout this country (up to New York).

This tells us of Flint, Michigan auto workers sitting down and, thus, standing up for unions.

This tells us how the teabaggers are doing all they can to ultimately stifle job growth (bless their pointed little heads).

Here is a link to a 2007 speech that Professor Elizabeth Warren gave on the income redistribution going on in this country (about an hour, and she absolutely nails it – no wonder the Repugs and the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch hates her - and by the way, good for these kids).

Here is a link to a New York Times Op-Ed from former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich yesterday that makes many of the same points, “cutting to the chase” a bit more.

Also, even when I don’t agree with Fareed Zakaria (or think he’s being a bit too simplistic, as he is here), I just about always read him because he’s a conservative who actually thinks, and often there’s a good point in there somewhere.

Here is a video of Teamsters President Jim Hoffa, Jr. basically telling our august captains of industry in the private sector in this country to try actually rebuilding this country instead of Asia (Candy Crowley is a dope peddling Republican Party talking points).

Update 9/7/11: As Atrios says, "snippety snip snip"...sigh (here).

Finally, here are some tunes for the occasion; don’t know who the interviewer or interviewee is here…



…and no video here, but this is definitely a favorite.
