Obama Socialism 101-- Professor renders entire class with F Grade after participation in a real world model--> FAIL
Was passed on through an email string, good reading.

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 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.
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.*
Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.

The professor then said, "All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade

"so no one will fail"

and no one will receive an A....

so the professor LIED TO THEM,
telling them no one will fail,
THEN HE FAILED THEM TO PROVE HIS POINT.

to get a 'D' requires almost no study.

only really slow people can't get a 'D'.

the 'A' and 'B' students, with no study, would still be smart enough to get a 'D'.

it is just impossible to believe this silly story as told.

The professor is playing the role of the politician, nitwit. He says "no one will fail" based on the current grade spectrum, just like a politician making a claim that socialism will work. But then human nature takes over and when the incentive for personal achievement is removed, the walls start collapsing.

You know the other side of this is the rampant cheating & corruption that goes on in the competitive model as people feel driven to do what ever is necessary to WIN.

Yeah coomunism gives you the lush. Capitalism gives you the crook.

Unfortunately no one does anything for love.
