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.

last time i bothered doing the napkin math, it really wouldn't take much to reduce the national debt to more sustainable pre-9/11 levels. just tax rich cunts (anyone who is a milllionaire) at 60-70's level of taxation for 4 years and it would be paid down to that level within 1 election cycle

I'm not suggesting it would take much, I'm merely suggesting that the dipshit isn't serious and shouldn't be taken seriously in this context. He's not even trying to make a logical, reasoned point (as evidenced by the fact that he's an order of magnitude off on what they national debt is). Here is merely a cog in the maga machine, tasked with saying dumb shit any time a microphone is in front of him.
