Would getting rid of Columbus Day help our economy?

I am doing a debate in my history class over the controversy of Columbus Day. My job is to rebuttal the statement: Getting rid of columbus day would weaken our economy.





I am opposing Columbus day, so in what ways would getting rid of the holiday help out our economy?





I already have information about having more money because we don't have to pay state workers for not working, but what else is there?|||Having to pay people extra to work on holidays.





For those on a duty system, employers will get unhappy workers who work while others relax.





Celebration of Columbus Day may be seen as a celebration of colonisation, which may cause unrest in the nation from indigenous Indians.
