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.

three years to a millionaire, unless you live for free. taxes ain't your only expense.
Sure. The point isn't to detail out a budget or a guide of how to get there (you can't), it's to demonstrate that billionaires are thousands of times richer than what most people might consider "rich." It's simple on purpose.
Everybody currently has to pay bills, including billionaires, so it's moot; bogging the example down with unnecessary details needlessly obfuscates the core point.
