Some Ideas are so Stupid that Only Intellectuals Beleive Them.

   "SOME IDEAS ARE SO STUPID ONLY  INTELLECTUALS BELIEVE THEM."

George Orwell  

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. 

Is this man truly a genius?

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  ul tim ately 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. 

It could not be any simpler  than that. (Please pass this on)  

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.
