re: #510 Blind Frog Belly White
There was a time when we as a society celebrated the worker and viewed the businessman skeptically at best. Look at the popular films of the 30s and 40s - the rich were either idle nincompoops, or scheming protofascists. Occasionally the rich fatcat is a good guy (think Claudette Colbert’s father in “It Happened One Night”), but a lot of them were much more sinister (think the rich guy who backs Gary Cooper in “Meet John Doe”)
Can anyone say “Labor Day”? There’s a whole damn federal holiday dedicated to the everyday workingman.
