 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.

 Could not be any simpler than that.

 Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

 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.

 Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.
