Tuesday will be International Workers Day. We simply do not give enough due to America’s workers. These days workers are being hammered from all sides, but especially from our national government and many state governments. These governmental units seem to be working overtime to bust unions and get as much labor as possible for the lowest price. This is a very short-sighted vision that will eventually kill the golden goose.

So stop for a few moments Tuesday and give a little thought to where we would be without the working men and women who made this country great.

We could almost do a full book on just last Thursday. But we will try to cover the week and the world with challenging questions:
