Labor Day is a dubious holiday created by one of the worst presidents in history (obviously a Democrat) and counterintuitively it offers a day off work. (I’m still here hammering away though.) And how better to celebrate not working on Labor Day than by remembering the various Democrats who don’t work.

Democrat states have higher unemployment rates on average and that makes sense since they pay people not to work and because they drive away small businesses so there isn’t any work to be had.

In red states people who don’t work are lazy, in blue states they’re victims.

In liberal cities, not working and signing up for every welfare program under the sun is much more lucrative than getting a job. Working is shameful, but not working is revolutionary.

The Left claims to love the working class, but from Marx to Lenin, its vanguard consists of upper class people who never worked for a living and instead fulminated about their plans for an ideal society (and their hatred of everyone else) for a living.

These days there are entire fields and degrees for those who want to do that sort of thing. And while the DEI racket isn’t as big as it used to be, there are still plenty of cushy corporate gigs that require you to do nothing more than send out the occasional press release about the evils of capitalism, systemic racism and whiteness. Before knocking off for a four o’clock lunch.

In the words of Barack Obama, who once considered a job before deciding to go into politics instead, “why can’t I just eat my waffle?” And in the words of his even greater successor, Joe Biden, “say hello to oyster bunnies.”

And if that just doesn’t say it all, what does?

So next time you’re working, spare a thought for those who can’t and won’t work because they have to go and protest for the whales, Hamas or abortion, or aborting Hamas whales, and keep them in your thoughts while you sweat.
