    It’s also pretty hard when the corporations you work for aren’t interested in paying you what you’re worth. People need and deserve better wages

      Corporations literally cannot pay you what you’re worth. The very nature of capitalism requires exploitation. For capitalism to function, there must be an inequity between a worker’s true value, i.e. their productive output, and their cost. The system is literally designed to fuck you over from the top down.

      Your pay is only relevant to the cost of goods and services.

      People used to be rich earning $1,000 a year. Your pay is irrelevant, the costs of things is what’s more important.

      And taxes, fucking stop taking everyone’s money
