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.

Just come up with a variable and if your total loans for the year (using speculative assets as collateral) are above that amount, the assets are taxed as realized gains. And the loan as income.
My thought is the limit should be 100x the annual take home pay of the bottom 20% of workers. Currently that's about $1.6m. It has the bonus of needing to increase worker pay for cheaper loans.
