        That’s it? It’s a start, I guess…

          Did you miss the part where this is from one person, and only the money he made in the time that trump has been in office? I CBA to look up what it would actually make or how much wealth is held by billionaires on California.

            Of course I didn’t. I just could be assed to do some basic math and see how little that is.

            California’s budget is hundreds of billions.

              Well considering my individual taxes are such an insufficient portion of my governments total spending I shouldn’t have to pay them at all then.

                    Did you respond to the wrong person or something?

                    I’m confused as to why you are saying these things to me…

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.
