The efficacy of living-wages

A large percentage of your salary is taken by FICA, but the rich, who receive non-salaried compensation, don't pay it. And Social Security doesn't need it, because the government creates dollars at will. FICA widens the gap between the rich and the rest.

This petition is about Migrant Workers and their low pay. We have made this petition to help migrant workers get paid more adequate to what they do. Their jobs are grueling and time consuming. Their hours are much longer than what the average person works, with less than an 8th of what they get paid.

After taking millions in tax payer money from the state to create jobs, ESPN is now planning layoffs. More than 100 employees, and maybe as many as 400, are slated to be let go from their Bristol, CT headquarters. This is unacceptable. ESPN took our money to create jobs, they cannot turnaround and fire employees instead. Tell ESPN not to let any of its workers go!

My Credit Union helps my community by giving back its profits. Don't let the IRS take away their not-for-profit tax status!

Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas should be investigated in suspect of using tax exempt funds from their Non-Profit Status 501(c)3 , to promote hate and discrimination.

The existence of GMO foods is nearly universal in the workplace. Each and every individual strain of any gmo crop is an unknown potential toxin for which no long term studies have been conducted. Workers are not merely exposed, but actually consume, in massively greater than parts per million quantities, these unnatural compounds, whose safety is compellingly suspect by an ever growing body of concerned scientists. As a potential toxin, the Right to Know Act should apply to gmo's in the workplace and not enjoy any exemptions that might apply to natural foods from the actual Earth biology. Regardless, concerned workers have the right to know under the Act and food manufacturers must supply the requested MSDS's upon request.

Have you had problems with passing the Association of Social Workers Board (ASWB) exam? Have you lost your job due to not passing this exam? Would you like to see the licensure laws changed to retain your Limited License Master Social Worker degree (LLMSW) to enable you to continue to work, without other limited limitations? Did you know that Limited Licensed Practical Counselors (LLPC) will never lose their limited licensure and can work and supervise LLMSW and LMSW, and can bill all billable entities.

Apple is the country's most profitable technology company--yet it's hiding billions of dollars in offshore companies to avoid paying taxes. We've seen tax dodging before, but as one economist described it, Apple's complex scheme shows "unbelievable chutzpah." Apple wasn't satisfied with putting money in offshore tax havens with low rates--it created foreign subsidiaries that have no employees and are exempt from paying any taxes anywhere in the world. Between 2009 and 2012, one of Apple's foreign subsidiaries, which has not filed any tax return, had an income of $30 billion. Everyday people pay our taxes to fund things like good schools and safe communities--huge companies like Apple need to pay their fair share too. Sign our petition today.

Having been a die-hard proud Apple user and fan since 1984, I am TERRIBLY disappointed in the news that Apple has avoided sharing its profits with the American people. I urge Apple to rectify this and make an example to other tax evading corporations
