Petition to Redistribute GPA Scores

[dapoes]

This is some comedy gold. Progressives don’t like it when they might possibly have to spread the grade point average.

Many students agree with Comrade Obama that "the rich" (a.k.a. employers) should be looted even more mercilessly to finance his obscenely wasteful, never-ending spending spree. Let's see whether they would like the same principle to be applied to their grade point averages:




The liberal conception of "fairness" or "social justice" entails taking from those who have earned and giving to those who have not earned. That is, it is theft dressed up in moral depravity. Nothing could be less fair, less just, or less sane.

You work hard to get a good GPA......sharing your success with those less academic just isn't fair.

But if these people earn high income in the market place, wonder how they will look at redistribution of their wealth then.

Grades are earned individually. Wealth is not, unless it is a company of one that uses no resources or man power other than that of the owner operator.

So where does a company that makes $13B and gets a tax refund fall in this 'argument'? Where do people come up with these arguments?

Duh, Obama is intent on taxing wealthy Americans Dude, who earned their wealth like the ones I named earned through investing individually.

Individual works hard to obtain a good GPA.

Individual works hard to earn lots of money.

Hmm....I see a parallel.

 

[Ms Tree]

I never knew that Bill Gates did all the manufacturing, R&D, Customer service, packaging and code writing all by him self. Very impressive. Mr. Buffet must be quite busy as well running all those companies by him self. Not to mention all the resource that they don't use.

Personally I would just be happy if they would pay their fair share. When Mr. Buffet pays less than his assistant, there is something wrong with the tax code don't you think?

These 2 like to give back to people who are less fortunate...

Warren Buffet wants rich to pay more

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet - The Giving Pledge

This led to the idea of the Giving Pledge. It is simply a commitment to give the majority of your wealth away during your lifetime or through your will. We hope that over the long term it will encourage people to start earlier, collaborate more, and make their giving even more impactful.

Steve Forbes - Well, he will just let them eat cake. He leads FreedomWorks with Dick Armey at the helm. 'nuff said.

In 2007, the latest year for IRS data, the average adjusted income for the 400 highest earning Americans was nearly $345 million. Their average federal income tax rate was 17 percent, down from 26 percent in 1992. (paraphrased from AP 4/17/2011).

The wealth is being redistributed alright.

From everyone else to the rich.

Doesn't matter at all.....the wealth is in his bank account and that's it.

How did you attain your wealth?

And Tech...Obama doesn't care how one gives back, all he wants is their wealth.....and it won't be redistributed here BTW.

In your paradigm it may not, in mine it does.

Bunch of college students asked about the wealthy being taxed and spreading it around.

Same bunch asked about their GPA and maybe spreading it around in the same fashion.

That's all.

They suddenly didn't see it in the same light because they earned their GPA as did anyone who Obama wants to tax no matter how they came about it.

Both the college students and the guy with more than $250,000 see it in the same light because they worked for and earned it.......Period.

You guys got rich penis envy or something to that effect.

No because Bill Gates was smart enough, BRAVE enough to start his own business. He probably did that so he could be vilified by the likes of Barack Obama and those of his ilk.

One could argue that Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and the like should not only not pay taxes but get money back anyway as they have created more value for society then most. A reward for achievement.

Truth is Bill Gates has done more for America asleep than Barack Obama has done or will so if if lives to be a 1000 years old.

Who's created more jobs? Gates or Obama? Gates!
Who has generated more tax revenue for the Federal government through income tax paid by his employee? Gates
Who has NEVER had to struggle to make a payroll? Obama
Who created a charitable foundation endowed it with a BILLION of his (not Tax Payer) Money? Gates

So if you look at this in terms of value added to society in a true meritocracy, the likes of Bill Gates should be PAID not taxed, while "useless eaters" Like Obama who add NO VALUE to society and create nothing but misery should be taxed at the highest rate possible. This is but one of over 14 Trillion reasons that Obama needs to be shown the door. To bad we can't recall him like they can in some states.

Earning wealth is not the same as earning a grade.

 

[SparrowHawk]

Earning wealth is not the same as earning a grade.

WHY NOT!

The Liberal/Progressive hypocrisy was exposed for exactly what it is. A complete and total fraud perpetrated by power hungry individuals who want the entire population addicted to a Government handout so the rich can run amok unimpeded by a society of free thinkers.

See I can do the class warfare thing too. Difference being that my spin is supported historically by the likes of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and that merry band of statests. Now we have the stateist Obama and if allowed to continue we will suffer the same fate as those mentioned above

Putting effort into and earning something to further yourself is not?

Bill Gates started in a garage Dude.

Who wants to be a dick of any kind?

If you want to worship the rich phallus have at it. Make a shrine and tape money on iit.

They will take your money whether you worship them or not.
