Take Notes in Class

An economics professor at a local college recently made a statement that he while had never failed a single student before, he has now failed an entire class.

It seems the class was insistent that Obama's agenda, specifically his commitment to quasi-socialist policies (the “spread the wealth around” concept) would inevitably and undoubtedly work – that, once it took full effect, no one would be “poor” and no one would be “rich” – that in fact his policies would prove to be a great equalizer.

The professor promptly proposed to the students that the class perform an experiment based on Obama's stated plans for the country.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail. Of course that also meant no one would receive an A either.

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 quite 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 took place and the scores were presented, 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 Obama’s agenda (i.e, socialism) would also ultimately fail because when the opportunity for substantial reward is great, the associated effort to succeed is equally great, but when government takes all the most desirable rewards away, no one will succeed, or even try.
