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.

Hfs, i never drew that correlation before. Yeah, fuk them.
That simplistic comparison has absolutely zero relationship to reality. Think about it a bit more, if you know how making money on stock investing works, and see if you can find the differences.
I am a dumb average guy who is not an economist. Could you please explain the differences?
No! Snark and condescension only!
"I wont explain my point that is very much wrong, and instead will (attempt to) make you sound like the fool, when in reality I am an insufferable douchebag that cant see he has tread into water before learning to swim"
10/10, no notes.
I didn't think I had to explicitly repeat what I said in a couple other comments I made on the matter. I won't cut and paste that for you, (and since you set the mode to name calling) shithead.
I dont talk to someone assuming they know what I said to some other dude 15 minutes ago. I can tell youre terminally online
To play devil's advocate, a lot of money that is tied up in retirement accounts of the "average Joe" would also be taxed, so if your retirement accounts aren't outpacing your income tax rate, then it'd hurt main street too
