A fanfare for the common man on Labor Day weekend
by David Atkins
It’s Labor Day weekend here in America. People are dying in Syria while the rest of the world tries to figure out what if anything at all can or should be done about it.
Now would be a good time for Americans to think how lucky we are, and to be thankful for the brave labor and progressive activists who have made our middle class and our prosperity possible, in spite of the plutocrats constantly seeking to destroy it. It’s a good time for an old-fashioned Fanfare for the Common Man, courtesy Aaron Copland.
