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.

Bottom line is that stock valuation shouldn't be allowed to be use for collateral. If it doesn't exist for tax purposes, then it doesn't exist for collateral purposes. You want billions of dollars to play with? Liquidate your assets, pay your taxes, and have fun.
The system was obviously created as a tax dodge. We don't have to act like it's all over, they won, and there is nothing to be done. We can change it, and take away their tax dodge that is painfully parasitic on our society.
