SOME MAYDAY CHEER from Stephen Green:

Actually, May Day never really caught on in the US. Know why? We’re too busy getting rich to bother.

Marx was right about one thing, though — the State did, indeed, wither away. Too bad it was the Marxist states that all withered away, so that people might enjoy enough freedom to make a little money and enjoy themselves a bit.

Yep. Was it Eugene O’Neill who said the American working class was the only one working to become so rich that it didn’t have to work?
