Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Ah, yes. It's the old "one injustice makes a new one okay" argument. Hate much?
Taxes are not injustice. And being unsympathetic to the risks that the owning class has to endure is not ..."hatred". More money, more problems, cry me a river.
Taking away savings that were already taxed is an injustice. The american revolution was triggered by less - merely taxation without representation. Imagine your 401k going down by 20% per year due to the annual wealth tax. Then when you pull out the money you pay income tax on that. Sound fair?
I'm not American and I'm 100% not interested in solving stupid problems caused by the contradictions rooted in the USA lacking a civilized welfare state. Tax your rich to fund a proper old age pension system. I don't care about your stocks.
Well, I can agree with you on that. Having lived in Europe briefly, I am aware of the stupidity over here.
