It's funny that you bring that up.....

It helped me turn my niece into a conservative. She was all about "fairness" and "equality".

She was a very good HS student and graduated in the top 10 of her class of 500. She received a lot of money in scholarships and grants due to her hard work.

I asked her why she doesn't share her scholarship money with some students that didn't work as hard, therefore didn't receive any money.

Her reply was "why should I give them anything? I worked harder than they did."

I said "Bingo!"

She "got it".

Some of the neo-progs believed that GPA is always earned, unlike money. Even if that was true (through inheritance for example), GPA can be garnered by sleeping with the professor, using your fraternity's files on past exams, taking easier courses, etc.

Work hard = success or failure.

Don't work = failure.

Freedom.
