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. It could not be any simpler than
that. 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.
