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.

WTF is the government doing loaning tax payer dollars to the richest man in the world?
Rich people don't stay rich by spending their money. They get money in order to be able to spend other people's money.
I get that. What I don't get is why our government would be involved in loaning them our tax dollars. Usually the government borrows money through bonds, or backs loans. They don't usually directly loan our tax dollars out to wealthy corporations.
