Has anyone really sat down and calculated the lost revenue of the American economics resulting from ANY holiday? If we do would do away with all holidays, what impact would it have? The real American way is to work your ass off. Everytime a holiday rolls around, I want to puke. Employers have to pay employees for non-productivity. Dammit go to work on a holiday start a new way. Black guy day and every other holiday is just a waste of time. Time is more valuable than money. When you run out of time......you are out. Spend your time wisely....... be productive. GET YOUR ASS TO WORK!
