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 marxist-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.
The experiment 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.
Lazy people are socialist's who want to redistribute the wealth of the hard working. This brings us to the fabled story of the hard working ant and the lazy grasshopper.
The Story of the Ant and the Grasshopper
The Ant works hard in the heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC and ABC show up and provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a film of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be that, in a country of such wealth, this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Barack Obama makes a special guest appearance on the CBS Evening News and says he will do everything he can for the Grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the "Era of Greed." Obviously the Ant has gotten rich off the "back of the Grasshopper," and so Obama calls for an immediate tax hike on the Ant to make him pay his "fair share."
The Ant sues, but loses the case. The story ends as we see the Grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while he lives in a government house. The Ant has disappeared in the snow. And on the TV they are showing Barack Obama standing before a wildly applauding audience announcing that a new era of "Fairness" has dawned in America.
This is amazing! The truth has been spoken!
