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.
Above sounds familiar?
