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.

Why do they need a huge profit margin of profit is the money left over after they’ve paid their expenses?

Because if they were taxed on revenue, not profit, they would have a higher tax burden than their profit and go bankrupt

And why wouldn’t you want the same system for individuals?

If you could deduct all your expenses from taxes the only ones paying taxes would be people saving up their money. I also didn't say with a single word that I don't want the same system for individuals, why are you arguing in bad faith and putting words in my mouth?
