Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

        It was part of his plan to address “domestic terrorism.” Also don’t forget, Kathy Hochul preceded Trump in sending in the national guard to “fight crime” despite every statistic showing a drop in violent crime.

        We are not only at war with Trump and the GOP, but the entire political class.

        My friend and I have been saying for years that we don’t wish death upon him, we wish utter humiliation. We want him to trip and shit himself while he’s walking on stage in full view of the cameras and audience.

        On his death bed, he will believe he’s dying with dignity. But if he rips his Depends on stage, he’s gonna lose his mind.

        File a new W4 with your employer. From the instructions:

        Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. If too little is withheld, you will generally owe tax when you file your tax return and may owe a penalty. If too much is withheld, you will generally be due a refund.

        If you feel the correct withholding is “$0.00”, W4 is how you tell your employer to not withhold anything for taxes.

          You can only do that if you had no tax liability the previous year. If you try, your employer will likely kick it back for you to fix, or the IRS will send them a letter telling them to fix it.

            Plenty of reasons why you’d have no tax liability in a particular year.

              Yes, but you have to have had none the previous year to claim the tax exempt status that lets you avoid any withholding.

                Horseshit.

                If I’m not going to have a tax liability this year, I don’t have to allow withholding this year. Last year’s tax liability is irrelevant to the issue. There is nothing in the tax code that requires me to loan money to the IRS that I know they will just have to return to me later.

                The reason not to do this is the additional penalty they will assess if my tax liability this year isn’t actually zero.

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.
