this is seriously insane. anyone who works at a corporate job knows you gotta report any gift worth ~$50 or more. literally "rules for you but not for me".

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.

This should be a major scandal.
yes it should. but the rules for the aristocracy are different.
Spot on. The "elites" and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.
We live in a plutocracy - the richest people in colonial US were the ones who wrote our governing documents and since then the government has been run by and for the wealthy. Clarence Thomas, although not born of the capitalist class, represents the power wealth wields in our republic. A person who makes rulings on the constitutionality of our laws should be beyond corruption, but here is a lifting of the veil on the reality we must face as citizens - we are almost powerless to stop this. He will not willingly step down, nor will congress obtain the necessary votes to impeach. I believe we will not have real change until the working people unite under a common banner and put a stop to the obvious and massive power imbalances in our republic.
Damn corrupt Republicans!
