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.

Similar amount maybe, not same rate. If the first 100k is taxes at 30% and the rest is at 2%, someone making 100k pays 30k. But someone making 1 million also pays around 30k + 18k maybe. But for the 100k person the total paid was 30%, and for the 1 million person the total paid was maybe 5% of their total. Warsaw away lower.
