[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The attitudes on here seem to bear out the aphorism "to those that have, more is given."

If you really want to be fair, give each child some money based on their relative salaries. So if you give your high earning child $200 towards the ticket, and the other children make 1/5 of what she makes, then give them each $1,000. Then each will have what they need. It's dumb to give someone rich the same amount as someone who is poor. The poor need it more. And as has been pointed out many times, poor doesn't mean lazy. Grad school, lower paying but noble professions, etc. [/quote]

If you state that made-up definition of fair you incentivize poor decisions and behavior. You know that. You create dependency too. [/quote]

I give up. This board is completely in thrall to the gods of capitalism. Apparently whoever makes the most money is the best person. [/quote]

Welfare for all!  
Same pay for all! 
Everyone is the same! [/quote]
