WASHINGTON -- Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chair Sharon Day released the following statement celebrating Labor Day:
“The American people have always been distinguished by a hard work ethic and a belief that their labors will pay off, and today we celebrate how they have forged a nation of economic strength, optimism, and opportunity,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “We must continue to honor what they have worked for by ensuring that economic opportunities and upward mobility abound in every community, and that the American Dream is within everyone’s reach.”
“Unfortunately, our economy under President Obama has experienced the weakest recovery since the Great Depression, and GDP growth has been disappointing for two straight quarters. Eight years of Obamanomics have left many American families behind, and millions are still looking for a fresh start after years of unemployment. Hillary Clinton is only committed to a set a of high-tax, high-spending principles which have stifled prosperity and hurt job growth. Donald Trump is committed to a new direction for country, and our nation will reap the benefits of having a career job creator with his finger on the pulse of families, workers, and businesses in the White House.”
“Happy Labor Day to all!” said RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day. “As we celebrate with barbeques and parades, please take some time today to reflect on the hard-working men and women whose efforts have made America an economic leader. Their tireless contributions have helped make us a thriving and economically blessed nation, and we must continue to commemorate their efforts by making sure all Americans have a chance to prosper.”
