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.

If you make a fortune from your connections to an economy, people, and society; wherever you may live personally, it makes sense for you to contribute back to that society. You may not directly benefit from its roads, but you make money from the people who do. Money you wouldn't be able to have without those roads.
That becomes very faint as a connection. If you live abroad and have no economic connection to my country of origin. Why should you pay? And how can you legally determine or versus the other?
If I were born and raised abroad, held no assets in your country, was never paid by anyone in your country, I wouldn't have anything for them to tax. I'd just be some random foreigner. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
You can still have US nationality while living abroad (maybe being born on US soil or maybe not). Why should you then still pay taxes in US? You are not using “US services”
