A Great Explanation Of Why Socialism Is So Bad
Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 5:09PM I can't verify the authenticity of this story, but nonetheless, it is no doubt accurate:
A college economics professor made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
The class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked because no one would be poor and no one would be rich - a great equalizer. Upon hearing this, the professor decided that they would have a classroom experiment 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 and 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.
To their surprise, everyone in the class failed. 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.

I got an F without socialism, but at least I didn't drag everybody else down
This really is a great way to explain the problem with socialism. It's clear cut and obvious.
Fifty three percent of Democrats and twenty percent of conservaties consider themselves socialist today... What the hell, somebody better wake up and smell the freedom we enjoy every day here in
America....You try and tell me our education system has not failed, along with a lot of parents and the
government who suppose to honor our Constitution and the Bill of Rights....This november is a wake-up call for the Freedom we so love and we best remember when we cast that ballot,..,
Let's hope it's not too late Dawg. This country is run by morons and they primarily serve other morons. Those of us who have an ounce of intelligence and understanding about what is going on need to speak out.
This points out why "Joe the plummer" ain't gonna' be doing a lot of plumming if Obama takes his earnings and gives it to some lazy person.
