The right wing version of Labor Day

Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor crassly uses Labor Day to push the GOP’s dishonest “WE DID BUILD IT” attack line against President Obama, and in the process totally perverts the meaning of the holiday, turning it into a celebration of business owners.

Today, we celebrate those who have taken a risk, worked hard, built a business and earned their own success. — Eric Cantor (@GOPLeader) September 3, 2012

This must be the Republican version of Labor Day that takes place in their weird alternate right wing universe, because in the real world it’s a holiday that celebrates the contributions of workers and labor unions; in other words, pretty much the opposite of what Cantor said.
