An economics professor at a
local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's
socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great
equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in
this class on Obama's plan".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will
receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A....
(substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily
understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and
everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who
studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who
studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they
wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average
was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was
an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering,
blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for
the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the
professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because
when the reward is
great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward
away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could
not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) These are possibly the 5 best sentences
you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor
into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one
person receives without working for, another person must work for without
receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the
government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply
wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they
do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and
when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody
else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any
nation.
