Petition to Redistribute GPA Scores

Many students believe that it is moral to confiscate money from hard-working Americans and entrepreneurs and give it to those who didn't earn it, yet don't support the same philosophy when it is applied to their GPA scores.

It's different because it's different.

What a high-level, irrefutable, bullet-proof argument.

Propaganda?Wealth most certainly is an indicator of performance. If not, people who win the lottery wouldn't be broke 2 years later. It takes know-how and skill to maintain wealth. Redistributing the wealth only creates an environment of slaves. While we do need to pay taxes, the government needs to stop spending spending so much money, and learn how to work with what they get. Even dolts like you should understand that one cannot stay wealthy if they've got more money going out than coming in.

You that welfare has been around since the beginning of this country? There were poor houses and laws were in place to determine the 'deserving poor' The founders didn't see a problem with it.

I agree with you mostly but most people accept taxes are necessary to fund programs like highways or national defense or other things that there are no private sector alternatives to.

Everyone hates paying taxes. You are forced to pay taxes at the point of a gun. You give to charity out of the kindness of your heart because that's a choice you want to make. There is a huge difference between the two.

This all boils down to selfishness.

GPA scenario: High GPA students would have to give some of their hard earned grades to people who didn't try. No, they didn't work for their grade

Money scenario: High earners pay for low earners. Yes, it's okay because I'm not part of the class that will be discriminated against.

It basically comes down to the selfish question of "does this negatively affect me?" If the answer is no, then it's okay.

Not the same thing at all...lol It's exactly the same thing. I don't want "my" gpa changed...but "you" don't need your 4.0. Lets ask students with gpa's under 3.5 how they'd feel about the 3.8-4.0 students redistributing the score only. I bet the after questioning about the tax system would hit them a little deeper.

[HGeneAnthony]

The biggest problem most people have with taxes is that the government is inefficient and they don't want to support programs that they don't want to. There are a lot of rich people who give money to charity who hate paying taxes. BTW, if you think the government can manage your money better than you send them a check anytime you want to donate to charity.

[TheFreeLifeForm]

Continued: BTW, consider the fact that most of our federal taxes go toward military spending and the Department of Defense of this country and not the poor, as it is falsely represented in this video(Over 42% goes to military spending, about 8% goes toward social services for the poor). Considering how patriotic most republicans are, I'm surprised they are so reluctant to pay a little more for their countries military.

[TheFreeLifeForm]

Continued from above: Once you have a functioning GPA tax infrastructure, where everyone is getting their GPA taxed to some extent based on established criteria and having it redistributed throughout the student body, then you can draw this analogy and ask the 10% how they'd feel. Also, redistribution of GPA should have established criteria just as redistribution of tax money does. Only then will this analogy be sound. Until such time, this analogy is baseless and nothing more than trolling.

[TheFreeLifeForm]

The analogy is tremendously flawed because it is taking ONE aspect of the federal tax system and trying to apply it in a setting that has no tax infrastructure, and saying it's the same thing. It will only be the same thing if you install a fully functioning tax system that is applicable to GPAs. In other words, everyone's GPA is taxed based on various factors to be determined by the governing body, e.g. GPA score, family status, income, high school attended, wealth, etc etc.

[traxtin]

There is such a thing as "Wealth Inequality" which is the main reasoning behind a higher taxation on those who earn more money. In the USA the top 20% control 85% of the wealth of the country, thus a higher taxation makes sense.

However it doesn't really translate to GPA taxation. First off the top 20% of GPA does not equate to controlling 85% it just means they are the top 20%... It's a static value.

Redistribution already exists on higher GPAs since they can get better jobs and pay more taxes!
