PAY UP, BITCHES!

It's all about FAIR SHARE, of course...

I wonder how that would go over here with the Google millionaire employees?

[RoadKingLarry]

I have little doubt that such an idea will soon become popular here in the formerly Good Ole USA

Working from home meant that many people were saving on everyday costs such as travel, lunch, clothes and cleaning, as well as possibly spending less on socializing. However, the report also said it meant remote workers were “contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy whilst still receiving its benefits.”

We want more money.  Those people have money.  Tax them!!

This would cover the costs of grants for people who can’t work from home and are on lower incomes.

So are they assuming that everyone who is working from home is a CEO or other high-income person? I have a friend who is a mid-level manager for a hospital IT department. He has been working from home for months. Not just him -- his entire department, from his boss and his boss's boss down to the lowliest intern. How did they arrive at the idiotic conclusion that the people who can't work from home are on lower incomes?

Not to mention all the minimum wage call center people who work from home.

I’m sure Kamala’s  advisors are reading the news and will add this to there agenda shortly.

What about folks who were working from home before the pandemic?

People working from home should get a tax credit for not clogging the roads. A quick Google suggests that some countries already have tax credits for home workers

Retroactive taxes.

And remember - if you're a homeowner, you're not paying rent. The money you save may eventually be considered to be imputed income and may in the future be taxed. (I actually heard this was considered a few decades back.)

I pay rent to the government.
