    Putting it in laymens terms

    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 this.

    Sad sad story...Have heard several people say that now that Obama is the President we won't be poor anymore. They went after these mental midgets with a vengence during their campaign and looks like it worked. I wonder if they will still believe him during his next campaign?

    Obviously they haven't been to my house,and if the "messiah" gets his way and starts taxing us to death on everything under the sun,it's going to get a lot poorer around here.
    You pay taxes on everything multiple times through your life and when you die they want to tax you again.Sorry POS's I say,run'em all out of office.
