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.

Why is Dr. Oz making a comment about the deficit in the first place? He's supposed to be a medical doctor, not an economist.
Doctors should be saying what is healthiest, not what makes money for the government. His priorities are out of whack.
He a shit doctor, so why not be a shit economist.
He's an advertising endpoint.
He's a conservative. They think they're experts at everything. That way they don't have to learn anything or refer to experts who make them feel inadequate for how stupid they are.
At least he's not making the Phillip Morris case that smoking will kill people before they can claim their pension. Unhealthy and makes Uncle Sam a few bucks.
