R. Thomas Buffenbarger: "So this Labor Day, let us remember those who want to labor, but can't find jobs. Let them know they are not fighting alone. And let us pledge to do our part to help turn things around and get America back to work."

Well, those people wouldn't be unemployed if they got off their lazy butts and looked for a job. Consider how hardworking and deserving the ultra rich, or those with investable assets of at least $30 million are. Solely through hard work they increased their wealth by 21.5 percent last year, and are investing in megabuck residential real estate (according to the "2010 World Wealth Report" by Capgemini and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.

Can you prove that people aren't looking for a job? I keep hearing the Tea Party say that but how many of them have tried to get a job recently.

The big business and capitalists are taking this opportunity to not hire so they can reap more wealth. I have family members who are unemployed, taken retraining and apply for the few jobs everyday. They're not lazy....the are just having to compete for the few jobs with hundreds of other people applying as well.

Go walk in their shoes for even a week before you call someone lazy. YOu obviously have never been unemployeed or underemployed in a tough economy.

For those of you who think that I'm serious, I am NOT. I meant my posting to be entirely satirically.
