We live in a meritocracy, </i> <br /><br />The basis of meritocracy is incentive and incentive is positive and negative — reward and punishment. <br /><br />In a capitalistic system the incentive is to make money and get rich. So what is deemed to do that is incentivized institutionally.<br /><br />The negative incentive is make being poor costly through various forms of punishment. <br /><br />It's a very simple system based "incentive-induced efficiency," and conservatives understand quite well how it works.<br /><br />So screwing the little guys and gals is a feature rather than a bug. It's for their own good, you see, to teach them.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-13225004804174245942017-12-02T07:59:36.529-05:002017-12-02T07:59:36.529-05:00The living wage job guarantee will never happen.
