Work Reform
16826 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.

This is social security,
A big reason US taxes seem lower is because there are so many different taxes and we usually don’t aggregate
Google says you’re specifying the Dutch income tax rate, so it’s not comparable and the Dutch social security tax’s is “only” 27.5%
your "only" is doing some heavy lifting there :) but of course i wouldn't have it any other way.
