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.
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.
