Work Reform
16379 readers

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.

Alternatively, actually tax the top 10% at the 37% tax rate for everything earned above $600k, and let the working class try to enjoy a little life, with healthcare coverage.
Bonuses paid in stock should be taxed by the cash value of the stock at time of the bonus of shares gained or 37% of the shares gained go to the government to be sold 1/12 at a time over the next year.
Holy fuckballs. We really gotta get this solution implemented somehow that's fascinatingly brilliant
Keep thinking and posting the thoughts. Its doing you, and us all, some good ๐
Why 37%?
It's the top tax rate. It could be 90% and if be fine with that

Just 37%?
Why not tax wealth+income above $2 million USD with a 99% tax? Someone having 1 billion then still will have 10 million.
