Given all that’s going on in the country today, we need a way to remind ourselves of the political dangers of excessive wealth concentration, and the perpetual need to be on our guard against bigotry and racism.
To that end, I propose we create a new national holiday: Bobby Lee Surrender Day, to be celebrated annually on April 9.
America fundamentally stands for liberty … which we occasionally forget. Surrender Day would be a valuable reminder of the price of taking our eye off the ball.
Besides, it would make a nice counterpoint to April 15.
Right - we should tax all rich guys 90% and let politicians decided on how best to spend it.. Who needs world beating well paying jobs or Elon's pesky electric cars.

I am trying to figure out who Bobby Lee is. Why shouldn't we have a special day for Mark Olbert, another confused individual?
