Lets see....
Everyone is now graded on a curve
No child left behind (IE. No one fails)
Sports awards for participation
No score keeping to avoid hurt feelings
food stamps being made to look like credit cards to avoid humiliation
Losing benefits if you are foolish enough to get married
Tax deduction losses upon marriage
Increasing tax refunds based on the number of kids
Rewards for not working (Earned income credit)
Rewards for having kids (medicaid/free housing/free food)
Unemployment for 3 years rather than 3 months
Loan forgiveness if you do a shortsale
Bankruptcy creit score recovery within 1 year
Higher taxes if you are successful
Possible loss of social security if you planned well
Geesh. What else do you need? Our society has cultivated a generation based on the above. What did we expect??? Thank our leaders...
On the bright side, my kids will do great!!! There is almost no competition in schools. It has been dumbed down to such a level that smart kids have no obstacles. I fully expect scholarships/awards/and a very successful life for my kids...
For our nation... not so much.
As an aside, most highly successful people I know are WORKING LESS. There is no incentive to work more. I just figured out that if I go part time, my kids get more money for college.
What are the incentives to work hard? Beuhler? Anyone?
