This man is truly a genius!

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
studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they also wanted
a free ride so they studied less as well.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test
rolled around, the class average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased however, the students
amplified the amount of bickering, blaming, name-calling and negative
attitudes toward the class and the instructor. Hard feelings ensued and
no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To the students’
great surprise, the professor, true to his promise of equality, failed
the entire class.
“Socialism will also ultimately fail.” he explained, “Because when the
reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government
takes away the reward for individual effort, no one will try or want to
succeed.”
Especially, when at the same time, the country is trying to deemphasize
‘doing things for the greater glory of God.’

It could not be any simpler than that.

Remember, there is a test coming up. The mid-term election in 2010!
