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.

Yeah, "Increase in wealth".
If Elon Musk is "worth" $300 Billion on Jan 1st, and $1 Trillion on December 1st, his "income" is calculated as "$700 Billion".
Then we tax that.
At 100%.
Either he funds it to the Government at the end ofnthe year, or he starts paying out to employees or (real) charities, or whatever over the course ofnthe year so his "worth" on Dec 3rd is only $300,000,000,001.
Why not both? Let's put the mamoth on diet!
