The track stars have to pick up the slack from the others because they can't properly perform. Basically, because such a large number of Americans don't pay a progressive tax, those who do, have to pay much more than if everyone contributed.

What I meant by this analogy is that the Games are supposed to be equal; every tribute has the ability to win. Which is true, but most of the times the ones that are well off (the Careers) who also secretly train from a very young age usually win, which is similar to the wealthy in this situation.

Some families have this sort of method, where each swear word costs a quarter or something. I was somewhat relating to the Spongebob episode where he and Patrick discover swear words and presume to use them as 'sentence enhancers'. They had a great time do it, but they paid for it socially with appalled peers and Mr. Krabs made them paint his mom's house.

In telephone the sentence or phrase keeps getting added onto because people aren't hearing it right. It gets discombobulated and such until it gets back to the owner of said sentence and they're in shock because it's completely not what they said. Just like VAT, taxes are added on until it reaches the consumer not at the correct price at all, due to all the taxation.
