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.

That's a UBI, not Social Security. It's a great idea! But it's not Social Security.
If that were UBI then I would get paid before I was 67.
Social security paying retirement and disability payments is different from UBI. I am simply saying paying in should be proportional to income but the benefits should not.
A CEO and minimum wage worker should get the same social security benefits and they would be higher than they currently are if we taxed the Epstein class properly.
