Under the “fuel canning” agreement, American nuclear experts assisted North Korea in canning spent fuel rods from the Yongbyon reactor and transferring them from cooling ponds to “dry storage.” The rods were placed in steel containers suitable for shipment out of the country. The U.S. taxpayer-financed process began April 27, 1996 and was finished in April 2000, almost three years after the projected finish date. Under a subsidiary 1995 agreement, the containers were supposed to be taken out of the country to prevent the fuel from being reprocessed into weapons-grade plutonium suitable for creating nuclear bombs. ( Supply Agreement KEDO-DRPK 1995, Annex 3, Point 9 ). So why, after billions were spent on diplomatic “rewards,” were the canisters left behind?

When Congress declared Labor Day a national holiday in 1894 it marked not only a celebration by workers but a division of Americans into groups often seen as opposed to one another. The day grew out of a desire to get governments to force employers to offer certain terms of employment to workers. The first Labor Day parade took place in 1882 in New York and was organized by Peter McGuire who helped found the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions. The "labor" involved were salaried and industrial workers and tradesmen. Not included were employers, owners, investors, managers, professionals and farmers; the latter for the most part owned their own means of production: their farms.

Let's do a tax day thought experiment. Let's pretend that you rather than politicians and unelected government bureaucrats controlled how you spend your own money. If you are in an average American family the federal government takes around 25 percent of your income for various taxes. Check out your W-2 form. You’ll also see that your state and possibly your city and country take their cut, probably another 10 percent. If you own land you pay real estate taxes. Every time you go to the store you pay sales taxes. When you fill up your vehicle you pay 18 cents per gallon of gasoline in federal taxes and another quarter in state taxes. Add to that the extra costs of tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers that mean you pay more for everything from shirts to shoes to sugar. Once you add it up we pay perhaps 40 percent or more in taxes, tens of thousands of dollars.
