The people who make that kind of money don’t make it through wages but other compensation.

Yes, so block that at a maximum rate (too)?

I am not an accountant but from what I know, taxing stuff like compensation in the form of stocks is pretty hard to do.

I’m not disagreeing with you, the system is just rigged in favor of very wealthy people.

I think that’s the whole point we’re trying to change in this discussion. 👍

You just make it illegal to compensate in this form. Problem solved.

Which is why we need to not allow borrowing against assets to get over the maximum.

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.
