SOCY 1072 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Moral Hazard, Faneuil Hall, Microsoft Powerpoint
Document Summary
Lead event next tuesday: recommended to get there a little early faneuil hall, dress like you go to field and dress warm, morning sessions: 9a-11a; 11-12 protest march from. Faneuil hall to the state house; 12-2 get lunch and are then assigned to a lobbying group of 10-15 people. Each group will have a lobbying facilitator (someone working for a lobbying agency) then you meet with a legislator. Notch effect you"re getting certain benefits (health care, universal day care, etc) and then cross a certain income line, which actually then creates loss in benefits (while are ultimately greater than the increased income) When you have a source of income that is not from work, that"s not a good thing: benefits should be stigmatized or else the benefits will be embraced and openly utilized. When you stigmatize a group, you diminish their political support, and as a result, you can put in place punitive practices for dealing with them.
