    An economics professor at a local college





    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. Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) 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.

                "Many critics have maintained that if anyone in the original scenario were to receive a failing grade, it should have been the economics professor who clearly didn't understand the difference between socialism and communism. Socialism is a system that advocates social ownership of production and distribution, not an equal distribution of resources to all citizens regardless of their efforts. (The socialist motto "To each according to his contribution" reflects the principle that members of a socialist society are still to be rewarded based on how much they contribute to society, not on some more egalitarian basis.) Communism, not socialism, advocates the principle of distributing resources based on an individual's need rather than on his level of contribution to society (as expressed in the motto "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

                Sadly just from the past election alone we saw how many people have no bloody clue (including many on here) of the difference between the two when they're ranting about socialism and Obama. Case in point the OP.

                      Yes ttwarrior1, I am petrified of responding to you. You don't have my personal email address. You didn't send me any emails. If you've sent any to the forum then if they needed to be actioned someone would have. But if you merely wrote in to rant and abuse staff again then they would've went straight to the bin. Staff in CR aren't going to waste time on your daily dramas that are about absolutely nothing and not any of SBR's business.

                        That is how you bitch slap someone.

                        TTW won't get it. Boy, for someone who doesn't think my video exists, he is now PMing mods asking them about it?

                        Without realzing it, TTW has confirmed what we all know. I own his head. I should start charging him a renter's fee.

                                        ttwarrior won quite a few things around here including a free trip to the final four as a nonpro and later winning an sbrpro membership and he is still bitching to sbr daily in emails?
