I learned from my dad that working for an hourly wage is a losing game.
You may not need to be "The Boss", but you need to be the boss of your own destiny, and to do this you cannot be tied purely to an hourly wage.
I learned that in America we are not paid for our labor. We are paid for how many people we help and how many people our work touches.
So let's call it what it is.
Today we celebrate all those who are tied to a wage, be it $7.25 an hour, $10.00, $15.00 or otherwise.
And how do we celebrate this? By giving people the day off and a chance to shop for cars, mattresses, clothes and new television sets or appliances. Because that is the American way:
The one with the most stuff wins, and Uncle Sam always needs the biggest rocket.
