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.

They do if you have taxes on captial gains :)
Can't get taxed if you never cash out.
Most tax programs which apply to capital gains apply to the sell and exchange of the stock. Dividends are also taxed (at least here in the states). So yes, you get taxed no matter what you do unless it's a net loss
Exactly why dividends need to be mandatory for profitable companies if we are not going to change the tax system.

Taxes from the middle class. Ftfy.
Might not be American.
Bout to say. We barely have a middle class in the US anymore. Lol
The US taxes the middle class some of the least in the world.
I left a private sector job where I did increasingly evil things for a good amount of money for a public works job where I'm doing something beneficial to society. I have to work a shit-ton of OT to make the same money but the OT is there for the working and I ultimately maybe work a hair more than I used to in my salary position.
Living the ducking dream man, have at it!
I have a public service job.
Can't afford to live, get shouted at by callers irrelevant to my role each day just cos I am at a phone, can't work from home despite the whole organisation doing so, higher paid people throw their workload at me cos they don't want to do it.
Feels no different from when i was in the private sector really.
No offense due but I hope you're interviewing
Looking, not much on the market right now, but it's a process I suppose!
Probably not taxes of the rich, who use havens and methods to avoid paying taxes. It's the people paying.
I keep reading unionized as un-ionized...
Mind elaborating on this rich tax? I'm honestly curious but also feeling skeptical. I'm starting to think this is just a joke since it's in meme form.
Shit man, hiring?
Piss man, is not hiring
Nothing better than taking rich peopleβs money!
Thatβs right, @dipshit
Federal government spending is not funded by taxes. When the federal government spends, it credits accounts with the press of a keystroke, creating money from nothing. The federal government issues money by spending and destroys money by collecting taxes. https://medium.com/@nicholasadiaz7/on-the-role-of-taxes-mmt-707fb4b3b80b
I've been working at a rich ladies house the last few weeks.
If you used her money to feed an entire town for a month, she wouldn't even know.
A facebook meme that isn't nuclear waste level toxic dogshit? Either this is breaking my brain or I'm misinterpreting it.
I feel you have a very low bar.
I am really tiring of the shitposts
Iβll take, βThings that will never happen,β for 200, Alex.
Hmmm where does public service build wind turbines?
Stop it you're starting to tax me π
Define the rich
100% they mean average working class families. We all know the real rich don't pay proper taxes
