Well, not exactly. It is people who celebrate, and in that context, you're right about many people. However, like Independence Day, I doubt there's a majority of Americans who really know what the holiday is intended to commemorate. Regardless, the purpose of this post is to help readers educate others about an alternative purpose for Labor Day; one that is moral and objective. For example, "Contrary to the Marxist premise that wealth is created by laborers and “exploited” by those at the top of the pyramid of ability, it is those at the top, the best and the brightest, who increase the value of the labor of those at the bottom. Under capitalism, even a man who has nothing to trade but physical labor gains a huge advantage by leveraging the fruits of minds more creative than his."
