An
economics teacher at a local school made a statement that he had never failed a
single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had
insisted that Gillard/Brown socialism worked and that no one would be poor and
no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The teacher then said, "OK, we
will have an experiment in this class on the Gillard/Brown 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 teacher 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, and
gives to those who do nothing, no-one will try
Or want to succeed.
It could NOT be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test
coming up.--->> The next election.
These are possibly the 5
best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1.
You can not 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.
