I
disagree strongly with the majority of the rules for the sole reason that they
are not necessary. That being said, when people have money, they will be
willing to spend it. Is it necessary to spend eight extra dollars to avoid
traffic? No. Will people do it? Yes. It is not a damaging purchase to anyone
involved, other than more money being spent frivolously. Killing endangered
species, such as the hunting of Rhinos for $150,000, would ruin a population of
animals, therefore affecting the environment and the people living in it.
I think
the idea of paying money to call your doctor at all hours would end with more
and more doctors being on call all the time. The minimum cost of $1,500 is also
just low enough to be bought by the middle class, especially if there is an “emergency”
of sorts. People desire the specialized treatment versus going to the hospital
if they feel like they “deserve” it for the money they are paying.
The
admission of your child to a prestigious university idea is already happening
every year during admission. Admissions
look for certain qualities and specific criteria each year. For instance, one year,
they may desire a stronger athletic foundation, so they accept the majority of athletes.
If a university needs higher academic scores, then they accept those with
academia as a priority. If they need funding, they accept the legacy children
whose parents are willing to donate. Raising the cost would start several moral
conflicts and negativity around the school. Students would wonder who would actually
deserve to be there, and the college’s reputation would suffer, as well as
those who attend that college.
