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.

the us democrats are not the radical left, but the radical left had policies that enough people would disagree on that they would lose if they tried to run (wealth tax)
Why do you think the majority of people would be against a wealth tax? Are the people really buying into the idea that with enough hard work one might one day be a multi millionaire? Feels like Stockholm syndrome driven by propaganda by the rich
you don't need majority disapproval to lose because voter turnout is far from 100%, and it is possible to become a millionaire with "hard work" (and student loans) just look at lawyers and doctors.
Notice how they didn't say millionnaire though, they said multi-milionnaire.
There's a difference between being worth a million and ten
with how they've been printing $, a millionaire really aint what it used to be
Yeah. Don't you need about a million to retire now?
yep, a millionaire a decade ago probably has more than two million now
I don't think wealth taxes are too far left for Americans. I think the ownership class is just willing to flood social media and television with propaganda against wealth tax, which influences elections.
That's what they're doing already in California, and we'd really, really, like to keep Medi-cal when the OBBBA gutted Medicaid nationwide.
