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.

I'm just spitballing here, but maybe the solution is just, like, you know, tax the rich...?

I mean, really tax them, you know, all in, no bars, just get in there, and tax the hell right out of them.

Whad'ya say? Think it might work?

Yes that's why I said "total wealth based taxes." If you want to make a meaningful contribution to the conversation maybe actually read what other people are talking about

I get it. You want dialogue, discussion, and deliberation. Nothing hasty.

There are lots of angles to consider, and one thing for sure is no one ever gave them much thought.

Perhaps it would take at least two more decades of development and planning to achieve any kind of tax code that is more sensible and equitable than the one currently in place.
