And aren’t
you underestimating people – why do you think people will abuse the system?
If her
utopia is going to be put into practice there will be no reward to those who
spent many years on their education. People will take the easiest way – they
will prefer to get a job instead of study because people are greedy and if they
take a job they get more money than if they study and only get SU. And their
choice will not have consequences for their further life, because as I said
before there will be no rewards to those who have a good education. The wages
will be the same.
I am not
underestimating people because people like them I have described exist. In the
news for about two weeks ago there has been focus on Robert, a man who has not
got a job for 10 years because he doesn’t want to work and because it cannot be
worthwhile. Many politician and experts
have to this made a statement where they say: There will always be a Robert in
a society.
Hello Ida,
SvarSletLet us imagine that we live in a society in which people get the same pay no matter what job they have. Would you, then, drop out of high school and start working at a café or a factory?
Also, imagine this: Every person in Denmark will get a certain amount of money simply because you are a citizen in this country. I could choose to go on working as a high school teacher - or I could be more like Robert, but then I would have the time to write letter-to-the editor (læserbreve) bake buns/cake for my son's børnehave, visit old and lonely people or set up a theatre play in the middle of Aarhus. Wouldn't that be worth something to society - even though I don't have a "normal job"?
