@Binder yeah, cuz the fact that people #RentSeeking aka. living off #RoboWealth ain't paying their fair share if #taxes and #contributions is one thing, but them having the audacity to compain is like throwing handgrenades whilst inside a greenhouse with glass walls and ceilings!

• These people never worked actual #WageWork ffs!

@LibertyOverGov #Philantropy is bad and antidemocratic.

Instead, how about he pays as much #taxes as if his #income (#Tesla & #SpaceX shares valued at market prices at the moment of transfer) was from #WageWork?

• The sheer fact #CapitalGains isn't #taxed higher than wagework and subject to the same fees and demands like #healthcare insurance, #SocialSecurity, etc. IS THE INJUSTICE!

Also #ImageDescription is missing. #plzfix by adding #AltText!

@eniko I think everyone should not only have free and conditionless access to means of #survival but also #SocialParticipation.

• If I wasn't dependant on #WageWork I'd still be a volunteer firefighter and propably do a lot different stuff that'll benefit society more longterm than the taxes and dues I currently pay.

It doesn't mean that I'd work less or less hard.

• I'd just do different things that as of today don't work financially…

@jurjen_heeck Personally, I think #ZuckBot like #Elon need ti be firced to #TouchGrass and get their #wealth taken away and instead be condembed to living off #MinimumWage #WageWork only for the rest of their lives.

• That way they can #UndoHarmCaused and #resocialize!

@AimeeMaroux @burnoutqueen basically everyone I know would at least do some sort of "#CommunityService" if their existance wasn't dependent on #WageWork, even if it's just some simple #MutualAid as in helping some seniors by carring their groceries up the 2nd floor or driving someone to/back from a doctor's office if they feel shit or get put under for some reason and thus can barely coordinate their own movements, much less bike home on their own.

@greycat @godpod EXACTLY!

And they should only be paid for the time they are actually working, not a second more!

• After all, if it's okay to not pay school teachers during summer vacation, then those #billionaire #bootlickers can also survive that!

Also every kind of income should be taxed like #WageWork and #BuyBorrowDie needs to be criminalized as illegal #TaxDodging and #SocialSecurityFraud!

• Plus make it illegal to attain any #donations, #contributions or #gifts whatsoever and prosecute any attempts as #corruption!

@infobeautiful this should be illegal - just like #CapitalGains should be subject to the same level of #taxation as #WageWork; including #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare payments!

@arclight I mean, I'd love to see someone pay me to maintain @OS1337 full-time (or any other of my #FLOSS / #FLOSH projects), but until then I'll sadly have to do whatever #WageWork keeps me and mutuals afloat.

• After all, being a "good person" doesn't make rent or pay utilities. Otherwise I'd still be a volunteer firefighter at the local platoon...

@Dave_Goldsmith we should also eliminate any #tax #advantages for #Billionaires!

• Make all #Interest and #CapitalGains be subject to the same taxation as if it was #WageWork with the same amount!

@EugeneMcParland $1,24B just in taxes owed means this guy made at least 5x that amount with #CapitalGains (assuming 20% tax rate) cuz no #WageWork pays that much!

No wounder many people want to see #TechBros being stripped of ftheir #wealth and #assets and forced to live off sub-#MinimumWage #GigWork , because these sociopaths are completely disconnected from the #workforce or any #WageWorkers whatsoever.

#WageWork #Workers #WorkersRights # GigEconomy #Precariat #WorkingPoor

@anna_lillith why is #CapitalGains not subhect to the same #taxes and #SocialSecurity contributions as #WageWork?

If I didn't need a #car for #WageWork I'd not spend ~ €2.150 p.a. just for the dubious "privilegue" of being legally allowed to drive it: And that's just insurance, tax, tech inspection and maintenance - that's not accounting for any down-payment or fuel or parking costs!

In fact, I'd rather love to have a #CabinScooter instead but sadly there ain't any in production...

@Binder +9001%

Noone has yet explained to me why Benzos, MiskRat & Co. should get #millons if not #billions of money yet they can't really "outwork" their employees on the floors to that extent, nor do they bear any personal risks that would rationalize that amount of compensation.

• IOW: If someone isn't putting their life on the line to save lives like a firefighter, why should they get paid more than the #paygrade of a# firefighter?

What net benefit to society does a person bring who hoarded so much money that neither them nor their children or grandchildren will ever have to do #wagework in their entire lives??

• Why isn't #CapitalGains and #RoboWealth subject to the same if not higher amount of #taxes and #Contributions to #SocialSecurity and #Healthcare like #WageWork? Cuz even #WhiteCollar #Money shufflers do have the non-zero risk of becoming unemplyable throigh accidents or disabling disease - they ain't gods for that matter!

@austinkocher also why would you want to "reimagine banking" other than abolishing #capitalism and #money and #wagework instead?

Like #banking is a nuisance one's forced to do to some degree, like defacating: Noone likes it but everyone sooner or later has to do it!
