Happy Labor Day _ and every day?

If most Americans dislike their jobs, they aren’t saying so to pollsters. The latest American Enterprise Institute Public Opinion Study on work and leisure attitudes found that most of us like our jobs and are satisfied with our job security, opportunities to advance, co-workers, vacation time and commutes. A quarter of us would like our boss’ job, but only 20 percent of us would like to fire said boss. Hardest to believe: If we won a $10 million lottery pot, most of us would keep working.

    Not me, I would move to a state where I could afford to own a home and pay taxes on the actual worth of it. Maybe to a state that didn’t have pesonal property tax, so a person doesn’t pay 10 to 20% of the cost of and item in 5 years.

    I have little faith in any poll by the “American enterprise institute” That group is made up of people who make their living exploiting others. Little wonder a poll by them would show that people like their jobs. But that is always the case with the right. They say it is so and so it is so.
