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.

Also of interest: Taxes aren't paid on stock buybacks which is why they became popular.
They’re not taxed because they used to be illegal and they shouldn’t ever be taxed because they should be made illegal again.
The same way prospect (futures) markets should be illegal, as well as options. The rich apparently couldn't make enough with regular stocks so they had to build gambling into it, and then inside trade to make sure they won.
Burn it down.
Should probably do both for when they inevitably become legal again.
If it’s good enough for weed at the federal level I guess it’s also good enough for cash.
Because that used to be illegal so there was no need to tax it
