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.

Yes I agree. It wouldnt be problem-free. What I mean is, you can pay the debt, if your debt was in another currency, you might be in a position that you just cant pay the debt.
Firstly the debt is for a long time. The debt until the next year is 10 trillion. You can pay this debt with wealth taxes if you dont want to print more money. Secondly, USA has to produce. It stopped producing good tech, China nowadays owns every tech production. If it earns money, it can pay this debt.
Thirdly, most of the debt is domestic and to the rich. You can just stop paying this. You are the government dude, you are taxing people's labor, you are taxing every transaction, most countries have stamp tax that doesnt even exist, you can oc tax this money too, and sometimes governments do this.
We have to tax the rich, even if we paid all the debt, we still have to tax the rich. This is required for justice, this is required for people to love their country, this is required to stop poverty, homelessness. When we have a just society people are going to help their country willingly. But currently, some people are killing others, raping bribing, doing anything and we can do nothing about it, while being hungry.
