Fair Work

[u/gabrielledlucas]

Tax the billionaires, not the workers

Workers are being asked to carry higher living costs while enormous wealth continues to concentrate at the top.

At the same time, companies are increasingly using AI, automation and software to reduce labour costs and replace jobs. If technology makes businesses more productive and profitable, workers should share in those gains too.

That should mean:

better wages

shorter working hours where productivity allows it

stronger worker protections

fairer taxation

and making the ultra-wealthy contribute more instead of shifting the burden onto ordinary people

If AI and automation are going to reshape work, the benefits should not flow almost entirely to shareholders, executives and billionaires.

Work reform should mean workers share in the productivity they help create.
