Percent of employers who give all or most workers a paid holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.: 26

I'm just not in favor of the holiday. It shouldn't exist. If you start giving holidays to civil rights leaders, you've got to consider some others that were as influential as King was. And if you consider civil rights leaders, haven't you got to consider women's suffrage leaders? And who else?

As great as King was, it's certainly valid to argue that several other Americans were just as great. And while the holiday may really celebrate what King stood for and the success of the civil rights movement, it doesn't make it any more important than some other movements of the past.

I have nothing against King, but if you start giving out holidays to people other than those that directly did extraordinary things for the nation as leaders of all the people, you've got to celebrate many other people and things.

It may be unpopular, but I'm against the holiday.
