An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once 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 would be averaged and everyone
would receive the same grade
so no one would fail and no one
would receive an A.
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.
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.
All failed, to their great surprise, 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. Remember, there is a
Federal
election in 2010!
