An Analogy
Read and absorb.... it says a lot and it tells you about our future
in this country if we stay on this same path.
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a
single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The
class had insisted that 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 socialism.
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. But, 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, name calling all
resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else.
All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that
socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the
greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away;
no one will try or succeed.
Our poor children. They are going to hate us.
