Most Americans don’t see themselves as workers, they see themselves as just some a main character who is only struggling due to a personal fault in a quick time event rather than corporate planed actions that worked with the government to enable that thinking in the first place.

You say “tax the rich” and they think you mean them because they made $100k last year. Nah you’re good! You could make 10x that and you’d still be good. I was talking about the people who make 450,000x that amount in a year.

I was going to quote that but it seemed too obvious when I could try to express my own words.

Not calling you out, I just wanted a way of expressing my frustration.

Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich.

True, but someday I might be rich. Then people like me better watch their step.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
