[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 3887296, member: 11234"] Prevention from what? I'm actually in favor of a higher floor than what exists in the US now, but a ceiling is a whole different thing. BTW, it's quick to disabuse college kids of this type of socialism in one quick experiment. At the beginning of the semester, tell them they'll all get the same grade on each test. There will be a few who study hard and do well, and a few who don't study and get the same grade. Now that you've removed the incentive to perform, the class average always drops as fewer students study, knowing they'll get the same grade as everyone else anyway. It's eye opening for them by the end of the semester when each of them are getting failing grades. You've effectively spread misery to the entire class, and this is precisely what strict socialism does. [/QUOTE]
