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.

Lol. Double the tax? The fuck are you on about? Yes the taxes are higher but not THAT high. Stop distorting the truth for YOUR own purposes.
The average tax rate in Canada is around 40%. In the U.S its about 35%. The difference is Canada taxes higher income brackets more, whereas the U.S taxes them less. This impacts the averages.
So no, its not even close to double the tax rate. Stop spouting nonsense.
Just saying our personal tax rate has never exceeded 15% in the u.s. The average is 14.5% not sure where you got 35%.
Edit: In Canada its closer to 17% and 22% in Norway for example. 28% in France(very variable)
Either way, your argument is wrong. Its not double. At all.
I think you are talking about someone else
I am. Sorry. I wasnt reading usernames carefully. OPs point is still wrong.
