Socialism??

University Prof gets it right! This says it all!!



An economics professor at a local college made a statement
that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire
class.

That 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.

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 and
name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the
benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, 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.....

poor analogy but i understand your pt.

life is not about ....test and grades.

life is about...well...life.

a lot of great inventions, imporovement to living and ideas came from a time when people were poor and more equitable.

have more faith....
