The term is “Redistribution”. Good to see somebody actually challenging the moonbats with common sense and logic though.
Good exercise of “put your money where your mouth is.” Wonder how many will agree.
A few years ago, my daughter told me the story of one professor who offered his class that, after every test, quiz, exam... everybody would get whatever the class average was. It kind of worked the first time around, with an average in the low 90s. But, it didn’t take long for some students to figure that they did not have to study to get a good grade, so the averages started going down. The good students felt that it did not matter how hard they worked, they got so-so grades, so there was no need to keep on working. Before Christmas the whole class was failing! After explaining to the students that they had just seen socialism in action, the professor discarded all the grades and offered make up exams.
it’s an educational experience for economic slow learners.

It won’t work. Libs have brain damage and most will never recover. I don’t mean this in a sarcastic way. Most have literally lost their ability to use reason and logic when it comes to these topics. Liberalism damages the mind and it’s usually permanent.
The GPA analogy has been tried many times before but it’s just explained away as apples and oranges by the Marxist professors.
Its that old joke come true:
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more
government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing ?” She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “ Welcome to the Republican party.”
I did a similar experiment with my idiot, lib nephew. I said, “How much cash do you have on you”? “$50.00” he says. I said, “I don’t have any cash. Give me $25.00 so we’re even”. He got mad at the thought. I simply said, “think about it, bonehead”. I’ve lost all patience with ALL libs. Including family.
This is how, back in the 90s, I explained socialism to my brother and sister.
Nice idea to get them thinking, but it is a false comparison. One can't inherit a GPA, but one surely can inherit sufficient capital to generate a handsome income.
