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.

We need to call the institutional capitalists' bluff. Tell them single payer is a great way to prove capitalism works AND that private insurance is needed!
Create a public single payer option, and we'll all marvel as private health insurance companies innovate and justify their existence by creating better, cheaper insurance products that we can decide to buy as a demonstration of the invisible rational hand of the market! Competition! That's why we need a single payer option! If you aren't for public insurance, you don't believe in capitalism!
Isn't getting to a monopoly the ultimate capitalist goal? Grow until you corner the whole market. So if that winner happens to be the government's "insurance"... Peak capitalism.
