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.

That is the point. The taxes are reality, you are going to pay them. Whether they are evil or not depends on what that money is used for.

"Reach into your pocket" makes it sound as if they're stealing from you. Which, if you live in the USA, is mostly true.

In functioning democratic societies those taxes pay for things that benefit the citizens. At least that is the stated goal, and if they fuck it up, they get voted out.

I think you guys need to start voting with your bullets.
