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.

Or, more generically, a set of borders that define the reach of a national bureaucracy, sure. I don't think anyone can argue that the US has borders. And I certainly don't think it can be argued that we lack a bureaucracy.
A lot of the argument boils down to whether or not you like what the current bureaucracy is doing within and around those borders. Which, hey, don't get me wrong. Death to America. But it's one thing to say the country should die and quite another to suggest it's already dead.
As soon as the election churns some of our legislative and state-exec bureaucrats, you're going to see a liberal renaissance in patriotic nationalism coming up against a sudden Neo-Confederate fervor in the Usual Suspect territories. Expect the streets to be full of parading chuds screaming "We want our country back!" the week after the polls close. This happens damned near every election cycle. But it's little more than a social release valve. Half the people screaming about succession and civil war and Revolution 2: Electric Boogaloo are going to be penthouse neocons in bright blue cities and Silicon Valley soar sports.
