It's the annual point redistribution vote.

 

It's kinda like the liberal "wealth redistribution" wet dream but instead of wealth, we redistribute points.  All those in favor of point redistribution belong under the "For point redistribution" column and all those who are against point redistribution belong under the  "Against point redistribution" column.

Point redistribution differs from wealth redistribution in two ways:

- We won't die of starvation if we don't get points.

- Points are given out via a consistent set of rules that reward all members equally for equal participation. Wealth is distributed unevenly, in most cases justifiable rewarding hard work, imagination, or risk, but also often pooling in the hands of a few people by virtue of their position. (I know that's overly simplistic, but I'm just trying to point out that money is often not distributed evenly).

Personally, I don't believe in redistributing wealth, but I do believe in structuring society to distribute wealth more evenly in the first place, such as through minimum wage and labor unions.

P.S. I also think we need to have support for bulleted lists in these edit boxes. I totally tried to do this above using html tags, but they were ignored. :(

It's a level playing field and points don't matter anyway, so I don't know why anyone would complain.

No. Points are a precious thing and won't mean anything if given to someone who didn't earn them. (blech)
