“incentive” is a curious word: when applied to the rich, it means promising them more stuff; but when applied to the rest of us, it means threatening to take stuff away.

I guess it's about punishment versus reward, and what those who have accumulated most of the rewards, and by implication have most of the power, feel toward the rest of us. Wealth is supposed to trickle up, don'tcha know?

2. What is "incentive" for them is "entitlement" for the rest of us. n/t |
