My kids are both selling coupon cards as a fund raiser for school. The more you sell, the bigger the prizes. My daughter was telling me in the car on the way home tonight that she only wanted to sell 10 because there weren't any prizes she wanted for selling more.
So... my poor daughter got a lecture of how government discourages innovation and hard work when they tax success at a higher level. Why try harder when the prize for all that hard work isn't something you want? If the reward for more sales through an ingenious new product line is higher taxes and a reduced amount of profit, why work hard and invest in it?
I don't think my brilliant analysis really sunk in with my daughter. "Dad, I didn't understand a single word you just said."
Oh well. She's 11. I still have time to properly mold her into a right-thinking young lady.
