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.

He's wrong, greed isn't a sickness, it's a mental handicap. It inhibits the brain from experiencing empathy in people who amass great wealth and power.
It begs the question, why are we letting a bunch of evil, mentally handicapped people steer the course of humanity?
You'd think that if you were a doctor, and had a patient that was amassing a collection of any other thing, and that collection destroyed a part of their patients brain... You'd think the doctor (and society et. large) would want to limit the amount of that thing they were allowed to collect?
Especially if that thing they're collecting could be used to, oh I dunno, I'm just spit-balling here, give everyone universal healthcare, increase public education to include 4 year university, give everyone free childcare, invest massively in green energy and public transportation... you know, instead of just sitting in a Panamanian bank being hoarded by evil, mentally handicapped billionaires?
