Work Reform

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.

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.

I'm not sure why you thought I was making this up.
Why do you think I need "exempt status" to achieve zero withholding in a particular year?
