University of Tennessee Introduces Marxist Parking

Number 2 among the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto is “A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.” Although Karl Marx was a pathetic loser in life, he has succeeded wildly in death. In the ostensibly anti-communist USA, we even have heavy progressive or graduated parking fees:

Beginning in the fall 2016 semester, the [University of Tennessee] will begin charging for faculty and staff parking through a tiered, equitable pay structure. …

The new employee payment structure has four cost levels and is based on an employee’s annual compensation.

Here are the levels:

• $29,999 and under annual compensation will pay $20 per month

• $30,000 to $59,999 will pay $30 per month

• $60,000 to $149,999 will pay $35 per month

• $150,000 and over annual compensation will pay $50 per month

Won’t it be great when all costs are made “equitable”? The unemployed won’t have to pay anything to park the cars they are given for free. This will be fortunate, because only government bureaucrats will have jobs after socialists have finished strangling the economy. From each according to job availability, to each according to his need!
