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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

how do you explain the massive increases in standards of living for the common man in america before the great depression? there was a continuing pattern of rising standards well before redistribution was instituted on a mass scale and there's no reason to believe that it wouldn't have continued. you just see a correlation and connect the two while ignoring all the prior evidence. the luxuries that would shock the poor man from 100 years ago the most are available to common people.

[Welsh77]

insulting me doesn't really prove anything. i know the facts, and they are against you. there was obviously much more wealth in the country in the 1950s or so than a century earlier, so redistribution is responsible for higher standards of living where did they get the wealth to redistribute? it came from the natural progression of the capitalist system. you seem to forget that wealth has to be generated before it can be redistributed.
