There's a similar story where a father has a daughter who gets straight A's. But she also has been brainwashed into thinking that everyone should make the same wages - share the wealth and all and they all should make the same equal "lots of money" and then things would be fair.

The father then asked her if she would be willing to have grades earned that same way. Did she think that the students who didn't study and flunked tests should get an A also. Or would she be willing to give up some of her grade point average and get a C or a B so that the D and E students got C's and B's also.

She wasn't so willing to do that because she studied hard and gave up social events to get good grades and he said, well that's exactly what you are expecting good workers to do with their hard earned money.

Then she saw the light.
