The monkey part of the story is interesting.
The troll attached to it isn't.

Re: Monkeys Understand Fairness
Try setting one monkey up in a luxurious cage with as many treats as it wants and an extensive training program to teach it different kinds of labour.Originally posted by Berzerker
According to an Emory U study, monkeys (can't remember which kind) do understand fairness. Monkeys given treats for their effort react negatively - refusing further cooperation - when they see a fellow monkey get twice the treats for doing the same labor.
Now we need to see how a monkey reacts when politicians take away 1/2 of their treat while taking 1/4 from another monkey to see if "progressive" taxation is "fair".
Set the other monkey in a crappy old cage with bad food and no training.
Give both monkeys the chance to earn more treats by performing the labour tasks the first monkey was trained on.
See if they think it's fair.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Chicken skin is a great compliment to the chicken proper if it's roasted properly. Otherwise, it's ikky."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

It doesn't show that monkeys understand fairness. It just shows that they are greedy little buggers, who'll steal your hat!“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

Tell me how its fair when tax revenue from the poor exceeds that of the rich? The rich get a lot more from the state then the poor do, so its only 'fair' (again, the use of that word) that the rich pay more."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

The rich do pay moreits only 'fair' (again, the use of that word) that the rich pay more.
They do? Are there special roads/services/police stations just for the rich? I guess I missed that... Do you ever stop and realize that the rich actually put more into the system than the poor do?rich get a lot more from the state then the poor do
Life ain't fair, and neither are taxes (no matter how much), sitting around living with this type of attitude will get you know where... Become rich and then we'll see what you are complaining about.Comment

BeBro: Oh, I'm not an Otter hater or a Squirrel hater, I just did said that because a) it's true and b) to get a rise out of you and Boshko.
Monkey's throw poo just for fun sometimes, they don't have to be mad.
