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 program of 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 to understand than that. Can you imagine what would happen to young college students who might aspire to become doctors? What will they do when they find out that they would have to study 8 years in college and another 3 or 4 years of internship just to make the same income that their high school graduate classmates make 2 years after high school as menial workers.
This is the problem that England and other socialist European countries are experiencing now. An astute individual will always eventually ask himself the question, “Why work that hard when there is no commensurate reward for your effort?” The Marxist idiom, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”, sounds great, but it is a lie. Never in the history of the world has there ever been a nation that prospers for a significant time under a socialist system of government. Only when the citizens are allowed to prosper, or fail, without government intervention do nations become and remain great.
