Chicago, IL — Labor Day 2025 — During his Labor Day remarks today, the mayor of Chicago cited a quote widely attributed to Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis: “We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.”


WHO FACTS CHECKS THE RESISTERS, CALLING OUT OLIGARCHS WHICH THE LAST TIME ANYONE CHECKED SUPPORTED HARRIS 4 BILLIONAIRES TO 1 FOR TRUMP. FACTS MATTER. "Revolution" is being called for this Labor Day as they boo our President, and lie about him, and medicaid, as their rheteric seeks to tear apart our country, and to that we must all say Hell No!


While the Mayors passionate statement may capture some of the essence of Brandeis’ well-documented concerns about wealth and democracy, there is no verified record of Brandeis ever stating these exact words that the worst Chicago Mayor in history ever -- stated falsely.


The quote has circulated for decades in political speeches and he must have heard it before. It has been a fake claim on social media, and secondary sources, often used to highlight the tension between concentrated economic power and democratic governance. Historians and legal scholars caution that it is a paraphrase or interpretation, but is not a literal quotation.


Justice Brandeis, who served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, frequently expressed concerns about monopolies, the influence of concentrated wealth, and the need for public oversight. For example, in his writings and speeches, Brandeis emphasized the risks posed by economic concentration to political liberty and the public good. However, attributing the exact phrasing used today to him constitutes misinformation.


These nutjobs want to resist in the streets, and pack the court, speaking respect and disrespect of the Supreme Court in the same sentence. Hypocrisy and desperation is overwelming to those opposing Trump and America's success.


Public figures citing historical figures bear a responsibility to verify quotes. Misattributions, even when well-intentioned, can distort public understanding of history and create confusion about the views of influential leaders. While the mayor’s message about economic inequality resonates with many, historians emphasize the importance of using accurate sources to maintain credibility.


Labor Day has shown scary language in many city, by many officials, when it is a holiday honoring the contributions of workers and the labor movement. It is an ideal moment to engage in informed discussion about the relationship between economic power and democratic governance. This year be proud to be an American. The Democrat Party has become a dangerous, toxic theater troup funded by George Soros and other billionaires. They have no policies.


Accurate historical representation strengthens such discussions, ensuring that public debates are grounded in verified evidence rather than misattributed rhetoric, frustration, and hate for our President.
