Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Scott Powell joined Tipping Point with Kara McKinney to discuss the history and meaning behind Labor Day. Powell reminds us that Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.
