DUmbass kpete, as usual doing nothing but a Khephra-ish half-witted copy-and-paste, nabs a whiny deadbeat piece from fatso Moore.
It's a real DUmmy celebration of Labor Day:

Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.
September 5th, 2011 10:55 AM
Worker’s Ode to Labor Day 2011
By Donna Smith
Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.
Work. Be grateful to be working. Work harder. Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.
Give up time with growing children. Work. Keep bills paid. Years pass. Chances pass.
Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.
Get older. Get scared to work less hard. Work harder.
No time for neighbors, community, friends, or the laziness of leisure. No riches. No home left.
Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.
No savings. No pension. All spent staying barely healthy enough to work harder.
.....Blah, blah, whine, blah, whine, woe is me, blah, not my fault, blah, damn rich, blah, blah, whine...
Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again. Then stop. When you finally expire – literally and figuratively. Unless the wealthy and the powerful figure out a way to prolong our lives a little longer to make a few more dollars as they inject us with pain killers and tranquilizers so we cannot even scream on the way out of their profit-making agendas.
Labor Day? That’s all day, every day, in every way. America has no holidays. And certainly not for workers or those who wish they were. We are someone else’s holidays.

If you hire a democrat, this is what you get.
Noob DUmmy Kathnumber confuses Labor Day with Not One Damn Dime Day:

1. Work ‘till you drop.
Absolutely right. I was off today but glad to say I didn't buy shit.
This is hilarious. No one ever told DUmmy Curmudgeoness that her grandfather was a drunkard.

2. This reminds me of stories of my grandfather who worked in a tin mill. He often could not make it home and would drop in the yard or street when his shift was over, and my grandmother and the kids would have to help him get into the house.
This happens a lot to William Rivers Pitt, and he doesn't even work.

5. I'm self-employed. I can choose whether to work and when not
to work. If I work, the bills get paid. If I don't, they don't. The equation is simple. I work 7 days a week always. I don't take days off. Sometimes, I take a few hours off to do something else. Then, I go back to work.
I've been self-employed since 1974. There it is.
It's cute that DUmmy MineralMan considers collecting SSI to be "self employment".
DUmmy HughBeaumont takes the classic DUmp democrat postition that it's impossible to make it in this crummy country, there's no way, so there's no use in even trying, it's all a scam, so just give up:

15. See, that's just something people say that simply isn't true. Whatever this is, it's NOT simple.
If it WERE simple, everyone would be doing it and there's a myriad of reasons everyone ISN'T participating in this "ownership society" crap.
What would my product or service be? Who would my audience be? With what money would I start this business with? How would I pay for advertising? Would I make enough to pay all of my bills? When you own a business, your income isn't set in stone - some months you'll be making around $200, some others you'll be making $1000, if that. What will I do that a corporation/large player couldn't easily undercut me on costs and shipping? How will I afford health care costs? What if I get so burnt I just want to take time off sometime? How am I going to be the one to beat the 1 out of 10 startup success rate? You cannot say "just, plain and simple, work really really HARD" because there are probably more than a handful on this board alone that have gone through the ringer and will tell you that such Horatio Alger yarns are nothing but homespun BUNK. If hard work was all it took to be successful in life, then why are so many people NOT successful?
Blah, blah, blah, whine, whine, whine, no use trying, blah, impossible to make a living, whine, blah.....
But that sort of Commie nonsense takes money away from rich people getting richer and the MIC's adventures of choice. Plus it gives workers an atom speck of power, and we certainly can't have that.
In order to have winners, you have to have losers, so most decent and civilized people feel some measure of gratitude toward DUmp democrats for reliably filling that role.
Without a teeming underclass, who would we hire for odd jobs? Just don't allow them inside. They steal.

12. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that I have a job...
It is not unusual for me to doze off while driving on my way home. I don't sleep or eat much during the week, and on the weekends I have no interest in doing anything except becoming intoxicated enough to try to numb the dread of having to go back there Monday morning.
Sounds like the intoxication isn't limited to the weekend.

How can any of the above be possible? According to numerous threads that can be found at the DUmp, the unions brought us a veritable working paradise of 8 hour days, vacation time, sick pay, etc.
So which is it, DUmmies? Which one are you lying about this time?
-
For a couple of weeks, I was doing 50-55 hr weeks. Somehow, I still managed to find time to say hi to a neighbor, have family time, and clean my home. Get better time management, DUmmies.

Your wages 3 years ago were Bush's fault.

They all have time to make thousands of posts on an internet forum though...
If you don't like you job, find a way to get a different one. My dad went to school in the evenings when I was younger to finish his Bachelor's degree. I've taken evening classes and online classes, and I'm currently living off my savings to go back to school to pursue a more lucrative career. I took 5 classes over the summer to minimize the time that I'm not working, and I'm currently taking classes from 4 schools in three states (the out of sate classes are online) to get all the prerequisite classes I need for nursing school. It takes sacrifice, but nobody is stuck in a dead end job unless they don't want to improve their situation.

What the hell is wrong with hard work? I don't particularly enjoy schlocking through chicken shit but when I look at a nice clean coop that smells of fresh straw and hens happily clucking & sitting in their nesting boxes it makes me feel great. I know I've accomplished something.

I didn't buy 'shit' either. I was too busy spending the day with loved ones kpete says we don't have time for because of work. :whistling:

Ummm, curmudgeon, did you ever figure that grandma may have hidden from you that grandpa hit the bar home on the way from work because she didn't want you kids thinking ill of your grandpa? My grandfather worked in the steel mills everyday in the middle of last century--somehow, he managed to walk in the front door everyday and interact with his wife, children, and enjoy a family dinner and the newpaper or some television before going to bed and starting that all over again. I don't know of any time my grandfather was found on the front lawn or street, but he wasn't a drunk. :???: :o

The OP article by this Donna Smith person, was so annoying it got on my last nerve. That same whiny sentence repeated over and over again. Talk about lazy writing!

Work smarder, not harter!

So the take-away from this thread is: someone else shall labor to provide your every need and amusement
The Democratic Party always has and always will be the party of slavery.

This from a person who thinks 3 weeks of vacation a year and anything over 40 hours a week is slavery.
Newsflash, sweet cheeks--I just now hit 3 weeks of vacation per year. I'm still on call when I'm on vacation if the plant goes tits up. When I'm here I AVERAGE 55 hours a week, with some weeks in excess of 75-80 hours, not including the hour commute each way.
And you know why I do it? Because ****ers like you are too ******* lazy to get off your asses and earn your way in this world. At some point, you just decided to sit back and make ME your ****ing slave. Well, the day is not long in coming where your little sugar teat is gonna dry up, and people like me are going to be sick and tired of working until sometime Wednesday afternoon to pay taxes which is little more than subsistence for the lazy and those who demand luxury in the form of Cadillac health plans and 200K/yr retirements because they think they're ****ing entitled to them.
Uh, no, you're not.

Oh primitives, don't make something like "it's impossible to succeed" stop you from not trying at all. It's never done it before.

Anyone who is so absolutely morally deficient they fail to vote democrat.
