Minimum Wage
What's up with that crazy minimum wage, anyway? It's not like anybody could actually live on that, could they? Could you? What if you had to live on it some day? Plus, it's dragging our salaries downward.
Minimum Vacation
Our favorite paycheck party proposal guarantees anyone who works 30 paid vacation days a year, plus holidays. Could save the travel industry in one fell swoop and reduce unemployment drastically.
Minimum Health Care
If 47 million people are working their rear ends off for bosses too cheap to buy them health care insurance, then why not pass a law making it illegal to not give it to them? No more deductions from your paycheck, either. Not in the paycheck party way of doing things!
Minimum Severance Pay
Severance pay is the money bosses get when they quit or get fired for doing an even crappier job than they usually do. It's time to give this great benefit to everyone else in the company, too. Not just the boss and his buddies, but all of us.
Minimum Pension Plan
Why privatize social security when it works fine just the way it is. Sure, it's not enough money to live on, but that's where a law requiring businesses to save money for when you are ready to retire for you is needed. And you keep it even if you quit or get fired, too.

Is the paycheck party a real political party?
No. The paycheck party is all in the minds of those who collect paychecks, and in the deepest fears of those who pay them.
Is the paycheck party merely thinly-disguised Socialism?
Socialists hate the paycheck party. Socialists want the government to run all the big companies. The paycheck party just wants the government to protect us from the big companies pushing us around. The paycheck party has no stand on any social issues that don't improve our Paychecks and ease of getting them.
Is the paycheck party merely thinly-disguised Communism?
The communists hate the paycheck party. Just look at how poorly they treated the Russian paycheck earners. The paycheck party isn't a real political party, so it will never be able to take over the world. The paycheck party is a litmus test, a way of gauging what those lying politicians are actually saying, or mostly, not saying.
Is the paycheck party merely thinly-disguised Trade Unionism?
Trade unions hate the paycheck party. The paycheck party, if it becomes properly ingrained in the national consciousness, could eliminate the need for unions and union dues. The biggest trade union in the USA is that of all the people who collect paychecks for any job, and the rights of this overwhelming majority should be established and protected by law.
Is the paycheck party merely thinly-disguised Libertarianism?
The libertarians hate the paycheck party. As a matter of fact, if you scratch a libertarian you will find a boss, or someone who wants to be a boss. The paycheck party will use the federal government as it's tool to establish and protect laws to regulate the behavior of business towards employees. The libertarian would prefer that the government be rendered so weak that it has no power at all to stop companies from treating us as badly as they want to.
I own a small business, and I'd like to know what would happen to people like me if ideas like the paycheck party start to rouse the spineless sheep who slave away for me every day?
It is truly amazing how often losers will raise the holy banner of small business as an obstacle to a better lifestyle for the majority of americans who actually work for a living. Starting and running a small business is tough. It is not for whiners and losers, who are intimidated by the simple concept of treating employees fairly, and having the same benefits for their people as the giant corporations. If you are required by law to give the same benefits and rights to your workers as the giant corporations, that gives you greater access to the best people available.
What's the paycheck party stand on income taxes?
Once the realization that no one pays taxes but the bosses takes hold in America, people will start to realize that the so-called income tax is actually an employee tax, and is used as a tool to fool the employees into thinking that it's the government's fault that we aren't making as much money as we should be. Once the employee tax is actually called what it is and taken off the paycheck, we won't care how much money the government is siphoning off the top of enormous corporate profits. Let them fight over it.
What's the paycheck party stand on holidays?
The fact that any employee in the first world outside of the US is guaranteed by law at least 30 days of vacation a year from his employer is one of the most flagrant examples of how deluded the American employee truly is. If all these other huge countries like Japan, France, Germany, Italy (even Italy, for pete's sake!) can afford to give their workers this important benefit for the relief of stress, why can't we? And, if these international corporations operate businesses here in the US, why shouldn't their workers get the same benefits here that they would get if they lived in their countries? Employees of America, wake up!
What's the paycheck party stand on Health Care?
The health care system in this country has out-of-control inflation and no one is trying to stop it. One way to increase the amount of money going to health care without raising prices is to pass the Minimum Health Care Law, which would require every employer to provide some kind of health care Insurance to every employee, full or part-time. This way, everything about the system stays exactly the same as it is today, with the corporations of America battling with the health care insurance industry to keep prices down via free market competition between health care Insurers. All the government has to do is pass the law and get the hell out of the way.
What's the paycheck party stand on Social Security?
Social Security stays as it is, but is in addition to a minimum pension plan that belongs to every employee. The benefits for the employee are obvious: everyone gets a pension who works for a living. And it costs the employee nothing. It can't be subtracted from his paycheck. It is paid in addition to his paycheck, by law.

if you think it's getting pretty obvious that no matter who you think you are, you are just a person who gets up and goes to work every day and is tired of being ignored by your own elected officials. I hope you are starting to get the idea that 'divide and conquer' is the simple and effective strategy that the politicians and bosses have been using for years to keep us confused about what they should be doing for us.
