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 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 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.
 
Lets add a twist

Lets add a twist to the instruction. Here is the twist...Place all of the students who were born into middle class families into one room and all the students who were born into upper class families in another room. I believe then the test scores would not have to be manipulated like this. The middle class students would grow up to be YRCW employees who don't have a future and the upper class students would be asking the middle class students for givebacks because they were dunces trying to run a corporation. :biglaugh: :shift:

You assume that everyone in the "Upper Class" has a silver spoon in their mouths and that "Daddy" will take care of everything. People who are a sucess got there for the most part by hard work. I for one think that any Father who Loved his Children will force upon His Children a work ethect (Sorry for the spelling). that would not allow the Child to sit on his/her lazy azz!
90% of people get to the top by hard work, Not because "Daddy" has money!
Are there advantages? Sure! But if you think that the rich go to the "Club" with Biff & Reggie, Drink & play golf all the live long day then you are having a pipe dream.
This is nothing more than class envy! Where is it written in the Bill of Rights that you have a right to "Just be rich"? Is it next to the passage I can't seem to find that says that all Americans have a right to free health care? Or maybe it's next to that part I can't find that says that everyone should have the same material things?
Somebody help me out here! Please! And while you are at it explain to me why the Liberals want to take us down Socialism Road. The same road that Western Europe, Russia, And China gave up on!
Bottom line people, Capitialism works! It's not perfect, But it a damn sight better than anything else we have!
 
if socialism was so screwed up, why does it come to power when the masses are starving?

the russian revolution started over bread in st. petersburg in 1905.

if you don't think that socialism is better than capitalism then look who's telling you it's bad, the rich.

then look at the quality of life for working class people for western europe and their average life expectancy.

if i could transfer my social security and pension benefits to france i'd do it in a heartbeat.

most americans are only aware as well as the press releases they read on corporate controlled media anyway.

Why does the middle / upper class distinction have to be a labor / management distinction?

Maybe its a union / non-union distinction? (You guess which one is more socialist!)
 
and you accuse me?

And....you are accusing me of stereotyping? At least you got the point of my post which was to show the thread itself is VERY stereotypical. You sound like a brainwashed H-I-P-O-C-R-I-T-E. When you point your finger at someone, accusing them of lumping people into a certain class, four fingers are pointing back at you.
 
hey genius

Here are a few questions for you and you won't be graded one way or the other on your answers. Since you are an admitted capitalist, can you explain to me why the capitalist idea is to give jobs to China and India...and to give these other countries a step up...and to even the playing field with other countries (most notably the United States)? Isn't this socialism on a global level ? Aren't you 'distributing' the wealth in this way? I am curious to hear your answer without any spin. Thanks in advance.
 
PADUCAH #1, And Wild Deuce, thank you for your comments, it's always good to hear someone who speaks with an open mind, someone who can think beyond the box, someone who looks at the whole picture and doesn't just see black or white.
 
Capitalism really has proved its worth(with proper safegaurds in place). Hard work should always be rewarded and not given to some lazy scumbag that won't work. I'm all for helping someone who can't work, illness, disability, etc. A lot of the problem is the career politicians(kind of sounds like most union offcials)that are self serving at the country's expense. How do we let these bas-turds stay in congress for years on end? Originally they(Blacksmith, shopkeeper, lawyer, oops, farmer, etc)were to serve 2 years and return and elect someone else. Now there just a bunch of old washed up has beens getting rich on you and me. Until we throw them out and get rid of this whats in it for me attitude(fubo promised me a $500 rebate check)we'll continue to slide to poverty and serfdom. PS: Has anybody else noticed the last year going to customers how there seems to be "alot" of anger building up over whats going on in general?
 
Yup. I agree with you 100% Hitman about the New World Order (NWO). Davaid Rockefeller and his NWO elites will be destroyed. They are destroying our constitution, freedom, global economy and our sovernty. They want more power so they can control all of us by enslaving us. Its not going to work if we stand up to these bastards. The fed reserve has stolen over 12.7 trillion dollars from us thus far so they can fund their off shore banker criminals. Now they are requesting another bailout and this time its for 2 trillion dollars. They are using the money to build their world government and world bank. Now Al Gore wants everyone to pay carbon taxes to the world govrnment once its in place. Wake up people and start getting with reality. You should have supported Ron Paul. I did and still do. Alex Jones Infowars: There's a war on for your mind! listen to Alex Jones and educate yourselves. You will thank me that you did.
 
Amen for Ron Paul and Alex Jones. Remember last year when the NWO had their meeting in Virginia....and Alex's spy said their number one goal was to take over the banks...and three months latter the banks failed. All this stuff was planned. You also don't bring other countries up to our standards......you just lower ours to theirs. Maybe to late to stop so all we can do is wake up and slow them down.
 
We can stop them if the american people start waking up. The promblem with the people is that they have been brain washed and lied to by the corporate controlled mainstream media. The media, press, education system and I can go on and on are controlled by the CFR. Their job is to program the american people by dumbing them down. Well, let me just say this much, I'm not falling for their trap. The only thing people are concerned about is watching their baseball, football, auto racing and those stupid reality TV shows for example American Idiot sorry, I meant American Idol and Dancing With The ****'s. People are so glued to the idiot box (in other words TV). The idiot box will corrupt your mind by dumbing you down in other words MIND CONTROL.

They have the year wrong on that pic. It should say making people do weird things since 1913 when the Wilson adminastration signed the federal reserve act into law.
