Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.

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.

It does. When you eliminate the "corporate veil", liability doesn't end at the person, but reaches back to the person's business as well. If we eschew the traditional liability limits of a partnership by eliminating the veil (such as by commingling personal and business assets), the legal distinction ends. The partners and the business all become a single entity. Liabilities of one become liabilities of all.
That is generally true, yes.
But it is only true because of the concept of the corporate veil. In saying that the victim can't make such a claim, you are describing the veil. The only reason you do not have a claim on the partner's house is because of the veil.
You do not get to simultaneously claim the veil is bad, and then hide behind it.
Get send you're totally unfamiliar with civil liability
