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.

We should tax wealth not work. But that's not socialism. Socialism is workers owning the means of production.

wealth is accumulated income. income is generally from work. that's the logic they use to justify "already" having taxed wealth. simple as that.

Wealth disparities of millions of times are anathema to democratic government. If you don't want peasants and feudal nobility, you have to offset wealth accumulation.

Inheritance taxes have proven insufficient. So wealth taxes are the next best compromise.
