    The only thing that actually trickles down from the 1% is piss.

      That’s literally what the term originally alluded to, it was written by a critic of tax cuts for the wealthy.

        Just curious, do you have an easily available source, by chance? Or do I need to dig through the search engines’ slop for more info?

      Great, now I have way too much piss, zero gold, and InfoWars’ revolutionary “turn your piss into gold” program is sold out

      If we tried harder some other fluid might be included…

      Either way it’s not money, or even valuable.

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.
