I agree. Why have "National Holidays" at all? It's tyrannical.

I like to work EVERY DAY. Especially saturday and sunday.
Everybody should be an hourly employee.
And I don't like the child labor laws either.

I hate unions and worker mollycoddlers like you, Leroy.

Government is the true Satan, yes.
They pretend to help the people, but only employers can do that.

I'd much rather have the stores be open at night.
Sounds reasonable.

Don't get me started on that minimum wage law. Another damned commie plot.
Like the 40 hour work week, and MANDATORY health benefits, and such.
If government would just return to "laisse faire",
true businessmen like this gentleman could bring about much greater prosperity.

We'll never succeed at this rate, for sure.
