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.

If the government has more income, that just means they have more money to give to corporations and wealthy people.
Because you give them the money, then they use it to generate even more money for the country?
It does come back through taxes? right?

But this doesn't give much more income to the government. Even if $3 Trillion more dollar circulated, disregarding job market dillution and lack of skilled labor, then the GOP defficit adds about a trillion per year and this would only generate about 15% taxes on those wages and other wealth transfers or only 450 billion.
Also, that 3Tn number makes no sense because each of 4.5M 18 year olds would have to generate $666,666 revenue.
